If I start Atom, press Enter to start Julia, then do `exit()`, more often than not Julia will not restart - the REPL session is stuck at `Press Enter to start a new session.`. Ctrl-C results in message that I can’t interrupt Julia without a Julia client running. Restarting Atom gets things running again.

I’m running Julia 1.3.1, Atom 1.44.0 x64, Juno v0.7.2, Atom v0.12.7, on Windows 10.

I observed this as well, but didn’t see a clear pattern _when_ this happens exactly.
