run().read()'ing particularly long outputs causes a hang about swiftshell HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi, judging by the screenshot it seems like you're using version 1. I get the same error in the latest version (2):

run("cat","longtext.txt")

This function does indeed call task.waitUntilExit(). This however does not and works fine:

runAsync("cat","longtext.txt").stdout.read()

from swiftshell.

Postponing task.waitUntilExit() until after reading all of the output fixed the problem. I still want to wait until the task has finished just in case it does some work after closing its standard output.

@master-nevi and thanks for reporting this. Please let me know if this fixes the problem for you.
