I didn't test this theory, though.
Correct, the debug build will write to stdout, which if run as a child process under Kicad, will eventually lock up. This is a known problem. So if you want to use a debug build, run it from the console. The pipe going back into the parent process is never read by the parent, i.e. Kicad program, the project manager.
