Mmm, no: closing a process stream only closes the process input stream. 
It does not close the process output stream.

See 'gbx_stream_process.c' at line 55:

static int stream_close(STREAM *stream)
{
	if (FDW >= 0)
	{
		if (close(FDW) < 0)
			return TRUE;

		FDW = -1;
	}

	return FALSE;
}

The process output stream is closed only when the process dies for any 
reason.

Do you say that because you don't catch the entire process output from 
Gambas?
