There is no potential deadlock. waitUntilExit is documented as running the run loop.

Well, there may be a problem if you read from the file handle in a mode other than the default, as Adam was recommending.

On the other hand, I agree with your recommendation that this sort of thing should just be done totally asynchronously, in which case it's fine to do it on the main thread (which might be simpler for some designs).
