In addition to making sure you call p.waitFor(), you may also have to read the contents of the streams. If the streams aren't read, the processes will stall.

Try adding this class: http://www.physionet.org/physiotools/puka/sourceCode/puka/StreamGobbler.java

And calling it:

 new StreamGobbler(p.getErrorStream(), "Error");
 new StreamGobbler(p.getInputStream(), "Input");

You might be able to come up with a more efficient class on your own, but that one should at least give you the basic idea (note that it wasn't written by me).
