 This is not a bug. When you redirect the output, you have to read it
 before waiting for exit (may be asynchronously), as the system has a
 limit for unread data in pipes.
 
 Windows fails too.

+As a follow-up, if you need to read all of
+StandardOutput/StandardError,  do StandardOutput.ReadToEnd() *before*
+calling WaitForExit():
+
+	string o = tarProcess.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd ();
+	tarProcess.WaitForExit ();
+	Console.WriteLine ("finished; r=" + tarProcess.ExitCode);
+	Console.WriteLine ("output=" + o);
+
+This allows everything to be read without causing the deadlocks in the
+original example.
