Ah, now this is easier to fix.  It looks like destroy isn't closing the 
stdio streams it opens.

What are the messages?

Try Changing the destroy method in
libraries/javalib/kaffe/lang/UNIXProcess.java to look like this:

public void destroy() {
	sendSignal(getKillSignal());
	raw_stdout.close();
	raw_stderr.close();
	stdin_stream.close();
}
