The Groovy Process Management page mentions that:
Because some native platforms only provide limited buffer size for standard input
and output streams, failure to promptly write the input stream or read the output
stream of the subprocess may cause the subprocess to block, and even deadlock
This snippet comes from the JDK API. Which platforms, in particular, are these?
It also happens on Linux and (I expect) Solaris.
In fact, I would be surprised to find any conventional OS platform that provides unlimited buffering for process-to-process streams; i.e. pipes in UNIX terminology.
