This still hangs on MoarVM, but works on JVM (I didn't check the behaviour on JVM last year): $ ./perl6-j -e 'my $proc = run($*EXECUTABLE, "-e", q| $*ERR.print("8" x 8193);|,:out,:err); say $proc.out.slurp-rest; say "alive"' alive $ ./perl6-j --version This is Rakudo version 2018.02.1-124-g8d954027f built on JVM implementing Perl 6.c.
