Hi Martin,
My only minor concern with this is the potential change in timing. Is it
possible that a test will assume the streams are closed when waitFor
returns? If so I guess we need to update the test.
Cheers,
David

This is a bug report with fix.
My code in UNIXProcess.java.linux introduced a hang if the subprocess
terminates, but it has remaining descendants that keep the pipe file
descriptors open.
Here's a fix:

Please review.
Alan, there are remaining (pre-existing) thorny issues with proper
handling of process streams and asynchronous close, that we might want
to discuss someday.
