Occassional prompt to kill running process? #2

Hello,

For some reason, when ben-global-mode is enabled for the first time in an Emacs session, I get prompted about killing processes in existing ben-created buffers. I'm not sure why, but it probably only occurs when I have multiple direnv-controlled projects open at the same time and ben.el tries to do its thing on all of them.

@krisbalintona Could it be that somehow you are triggering ben-allow multiple times? I don't have a reproducer, so I'm only guessing.

The logic that fires that prompt is here:
https://codeberg.org/pastor/ben.el/src/main/ben.el#L775

As a workaround until we find the issue, if you are really bother by this, you can set ben-async-prompt-before-kill to nil.

Thanks for the bug report.

I don't have time today (or the next few days, maybe) to find a reproducer. But this did happen on two separate occasions for me. When I have time I'll get to it.

P.S. I'm on a very recent build of Emacs from the master branch, if that makes a difference.
