Processes using STDOUT will hang

[jqr]

If a command produces output on STDOUT, eventually the pipe will fill and stop processing. I noticed this on some network server code that happened to use STDOUT. Removing calls to output seems to have fixed this.

Here's an example process, that should run forever, but stops abruptly when the log is about 57kb on my machine.

File.open('log', 'w') do |f|
  x = 0
  loop do
    x += 1
    f.write("#{Time.now.to_i} + #{x}\n")
    f.fsync
    puts "blah"
  end
end

And the guard file.

guard 'process', :name => 'random', :command => 'ruby blah.rb' do
  watch('Gemfile.lock')
end

Thanks for noticing this, I'm going to look into it

I've just release v1.0.2 which takes care of this issue :)
