Subject: Slow reading output from Open3.popen3??

I've never tried using this function before, but I am now using as part
of a code compilation build script (using 'make' on UNIX).

It looks something like this:

==================================

stdin, stdout, stderr = Open3.popen3( 'make codename' )
stdin.close

puts "Reading STDOUT"
outfile.puts stdout.read
stdout.close

==================================

I'm trying to get the output from the 'make' command (which is quite
large), so I can dump it to a file for later diagnostics.

However, when it gets to the stdout.read, it seems to hang (or at least
take so long I've never seen it finish).

Any thoughts on why this is happening?  Is there a better approach for
me to try?

Thanks in advance.
