tee hangs when running sshutle in daemonized mode

[melezhik]

Hi! Here is test story:

$ cat test.bash
/usr/sbin/sshuttle -v -D -r vagrant@127.0.0.1 192.168.0.0/24
echo OK

$ cat test.pl
use Capture::Tiny qw{tee};
tee {
  system("bash test.bash");
};

$ perl test.pl
Starting sshuttle proxy.
Listening on ('127.0.0.1', 12300).
c : connecting to server...
vagrant@127.0.0.1's password:
Connected.
c : connected.
OK
...

... It hangs here 
... So I have to press CTRL+C to finish test.pl script

CTRL + C

$ ps uax|grep sshu

Compare this with when runs test.bash directly:

$ bash test.bash
Starting sshuttle proxy.
Listening on ('127.0.0.1', 12300).
c : connecting to server...
vagrant@127.0.0.1's password:
c : connected.
Connected.
OK
# it finishes here

$ ps uax|grep sshu

Also there is thread started by me at PerlMonks which you may find useful http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=1185749 with regards to this issue.

Sshutle information could be found here - https://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle , there is no any special about besides it probably demonizes improperly. However this could be considered as example of such a "bad" external programs which Capture::Tiny interacts whit by IPC and which make it hangs ... Anyway probably we need to investigate this more ...

A further investigation.

Looks like function _keel_tees can't waitpid - https://github.com/dagolden/Capture-Tiny/blob/master/lib/Capture/Tiny.pm#L286 and thus hangs forever :

These are the child (tees) processes can't be waited in parent process:

Killing those tee's processes in parallel console make script finished:

$ kill 11079 11080
