[Haskell-cafe] System.Process.readProcess "yes" [] "" >>= return . take 100

[Lukas Braun]

No, that's not a bug. From the documentation on «readProcess»:

> readProcess forks an external process, reads its standard output
> strictly, blocking until the process terminates, and returns the
> output string.

Since «yes» never terminates, the call to «readProcess» will block
forever.
