Basically yes...the patch stops the presentation of an empty console window. 
I am trying to support a script that can make dozens of calls to proc_open. 
Without this patch, each call presents an empty, unresponsive console box 
for the duration of the created process.

It certainly doesn't intend to kill the bypass_shell option. In fact, the 
functionality in this patch requires that the bypass_shell option be set. 
AFAIK, the bypass_shell option should continue to work normally. Why do you 
think that the patch kills the bypass_shell option?
