Synopsis: Workbench estudio crashes with no trace when exit debugger

Description
Stepping to the first instruction of a system with a workbench version of
estudio works fine.  But when the application is terminated (either by
stepping to end of root creation procedure or by the Stop Application button)
estudio crashes with no trace or with an empty trace.

I don't think it matters what the system is - I used a frozen system with
no precompile and a very simple root creation procedure.

The problem is that {IPC_ENGINE}.close_ecdbgd sleeps for only 1 millisecond
(1_000_000 nanoseconds) for up to `ise_ending_timeout' times before exiting
the loop and checking whether the daemon is dead.  Perhaps the intention
was for it to sleep for 1 second each time around the loop, instead of only
1 millisecond (though 1 second seems like a long time).  Currently, it will 
only wait a total of 100 milliseconds.  Or maybe `ise_ending_timeout' defaults
to a value that is too small.

I ran this workbench estudio from within estudio and got a stack trace for
this problem.

The check assertion `not_is_ecdbgd_alive' is violated in 
{IPC_ENGINE}.close_ecdbgd.  Trace attached.
