WaitDelay only handles writes to Stdin and reads from Stdout/Stderr. If Stdin is set to a blocking Reader, or Stdout/Stderr are set to a blocking Writer, Wait can hang indefinitely. I don't see any way to fix this with the current API, as there is no general way that the os/exec package can interrupt the blocking Read or Write. This CL documents the limitation and points people toward the workaround of using StdinPipe/StdoutPipe/StderrPipe and arranging for their own way to interrupt the blocking Read or Write.
