instrument.js hangs sometimes in node v5 about jalangi2 HOT 3 CLOSED

Does it work with v4? In the short-term probably downgrading node is your best bet. I think the right fix is to get rid of our dependence on ncp entirely. One simple solution is to do the following instead:

1. First just do a simple cp -r to the output directory (there must be a robust library for this).
2. Go through the output directory and replace files with their instrumented versions.

I think that will be a lot more robust and conceptually simple than what we do now.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/graceful-ncp is a drop-in replacement for ncp, just use require('graceful-ncp') instead.
The issue is fixed if instrument.js is modified to use that instead of ncp.

I will make a pull-request when I have tested this fix for some time.
