Comment # 1 on bug 7755 from 
This appears to be a consequence of a fix to this problem:

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms11-056

"The security update addresses the vulnerabilities by not allowing multiple

previous *failed* attempt to attach somebody else's console object to the
process:

No workaround has been listed (I tried using FreeConsole() before
AllocConsole() - no dice).
