Process Lasso v8.9.8.44

This fixes an edge issue we've had reported from time to time. It can be caused by a couple scenarios, but basically a 'ghost' process is listed in the Process Lasso GUI, having no other attributes. Once the fault was identified in the v9 branch, we verified the fix, back-ported the code, tested the back-port, and here are releasing v8.9.8.44. It's a simple change really, and very intuitive and hard to 'go wrong', but one can never be over-confident.

Changes:

8.9.8.44FixCoreFix for rare 'ghost process instances' back-ported from v9 working dev branch
8.9.8.44ChangeLocalizationUpdate German (note: languages aren't getting updates in the v8 branch unless requestd)
