SmartFTP.exe process doesn't quit on program exit

After using SmartFTP for a while, performing standard file transfers via regular FTP, sometimes the SmartFTP.exe process will continue running even after I close the program. This problem is a recurring problem that has happened many, many times. Unfortunately, I cannot manage to purposefully reproduce the problem. Here's the system info from the Help -> About menu:
