Issue Description

When I start a debugging session for a PowerShell script that contains a syntax error, such as:

# this script has a syntax error, I know!

@[PSCustomObject]@{
    Name = Value
    Name2 =
}

the session hangs.

If I manage to break it using Ctrl+C, the Terminal pane endlessly fills up with (?) prompts – see video

[Edit: with Windows PowerShell 5.1 this quickly ends with Process is terminated due to StackOverflowException.]

This repro’s both with the release (2020.4.0) and preview (2020.5.0) versions of the PowerShell extension.

Expected Behaviour

The debugging session should report that the script has a syntax error and stop.

Actual Behaviour

The session hangs.

@SydneyhSmith I can’t repro with either PowerShell 7.2.5 or Windows PowerShell 5.1, with version 2022.6.3 or Preview 2022.7.0 of the extension.

I’ll keep monitoring for this.
