I'd read the output to make sure the file is read to completion.  Also,
I'm not sure if this is still true, but when the alternate input was
added to >MDSK, if it wasn't initally connected, >MDSK didn't notice and
would sometimes wait forever for EOF on the unconnected or even
undefined stream, so I have stages that connect and read the alternate
output just to make sure the file is closed, like so:

  'addstream both MINE'
  ...
    'addpipe (end /) *.out.MINE: | a: > FILE'i ft fm '/ a: | *.in.MINE:'
    ...
    'select both MINE'
    'sever output'
    'peekto'
