That should not be a problem.  As long as the program that is exec-ed runs 
it should be generating output (in a seperate thread I presume), and the 
buffer should eventually gain some new contents.   But no, I can see the 
output stops somewhere rather early, nowhere near to the end.

Regardless, do you have any suggestions to how to solve it/what to try ? 
Or should I conclude that trying to grab output from an "exec" method is 
undependable, and thus simply a waste of time ?
