hi there! i had a short look into the code - and can offer 2 wild guesses:

1) the Console does not draw stderr of a command empty

this could be the reason, as sun warns in the documentation:

"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."

2) Process.exitCode() is not called after Process.waitFor()

i heard about some weird behaviours if you don't do thar
like memory leaks a while ago, but i'm not sure what the 
real problem was - and this probably has nothing to do
with your problem.
