   This looks useful. Why isn’t it on Hackage?

   This is very useful and I too would like to see it either in the unix package or on hackage.

   Anything I can do to help? Packaging, testing?

   This code is quite useful, but both executePseudoTerminal and executePseudoTerminalFD blow up with “hardware fault (Input/output error)” when the child process exits and I try to read more of its output.

   Is it possible to have child-exits just result in a EOF?
   That way hGetContents won’t break.

   Thanks for any help
