@Esko Luontola, I've been reading through your code in the sbt package to try to understand what you are doing. It seems like you want to start up a Process and pass input to it, and have the result of the action be teed to different places. Is this at all correct?

I would try modifying the main loop in ReaderToWriterCopier so that instead of doing a read() - a blocking operation that apparently when a PipedReader is involved causes polling - you explicitly wait for the Writer to flush. The documentation is clear that flush causes any Readers to be notified.

I'm not sure how to run your code so I can't get deeper into it. Hope this helps.
