Gradle daemon stops without logging the reason

Under certain circumstances, the gradle daemon stops after each build instead of going idle. I checked that with “gradle --status” on a separate console. The corresponding log file does not give any reason for that. Consequently, the next build starts a new daemon.

Any hints will be most welcome!.
I am using gradle 4.0 under Windows 7.

Here are the last lines of the log file:
