Vscode: Terminate task then restart: "Terminal with ID 2 does not exist"

[roblourens]

I have a task with this config:

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "type": "npm",
            "script": "watch",
            "isBackground": true,
            "problemMatcher": "$gulp-tsc",
            "group": {
                "kind": "build",
                "isDefault": true
            }
        }
    ]
}

I start the build task, then terminate it with Tasks: Terminate task. When I start it again I get an error popup, "Terminal with ID 2 does not exist".

I can't start a task at all anymore until I reload the window, even if I create a new terminal.
