Try the following test case:

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;

public class Test
{
        public static void Main (string[] args)
        {
                if (args.Length == 0) {
                        Process proc = new Process ();
                        proc.StartInfo.FileName = "mono";
                        proc.StartInfo.Arguments =
typeof(Test).Assembly.Location + " x";
                        proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
                        proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
                        proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
                        proc.Start ();

                        // This call should read the whole line, but it is
blocking in the middle
                        proc.StandardOutput.ReadLine ();
                }
                else {
                        Console.WriteLine (new string ('h', 10000));
                        Console.ReadLine ();
                }
        }
}

In this example one process reads tries to read a line of text from the output
of another process. The line is fully written by the other process, but the
main process is blocked waiting for a buffer to fill, and it never exits.
