Hello Moritz, this is expected behaviour: As soon as you close both ports connecting your own process to the external one, CHICKEN implicitly waits for the external process to terminate. Waiting for termination of a child process suspends the whole operating system thread and hence all CHICKEN threads. The workings of ports connected to external processes should probably be documented more thoroughly, though.
