But the real problem is that you don't really close the input and

key to solve problem you've encountered are
io_stdout = null;
io_stderr = null;
it unrefs io channel, and releases descriptors
private IOChannel io_stderr;

Hi, spawning a process and reading the returned pipe in a method like:
...
int input;
int output;
int error;
Pid child_pid;
bool res = Process.spawn_async_with_pipes (null,
