Weird result with OSProcess and Applescript

1. The following hangs forever. The output is there, but the process never completes
PipeableOSProcess waitForCommand: '/usr/bin/osascript -ss -e "tell application \"Safari\" to get source of current tab of window 1"'.

2. The same command in Terminal returns right away.

3. And this works:
PipeableOSProcess waitForCommand: '/usr/bin/osascript -ss -e "tell application \"Safari\" to get window 1"'.

So #2 would seem to rule out a problem with the command, and #3 with the connection between OSProcess and Applescript. I have no idea where to go from here...

So weird! Even compiling the script into a file and running it that way has the same result:

PipeableOSProcess waitForCommand: '/usr/bin/osascript -ss "/path/to/get_source_of_current_safari_tab.scpt"'

For now, I made a Ruby one-liner, using rb-appscript, that doesn't hang waitForCommand:, but I'm still curious...

you're probably one of the few who using OSProcess plugin and in such fashion..
i'd willing to help, but i don't know much about OP implementation.
Maybe you will have some response if you post on vm-dev list?
