spawn and stdout in 8.1

[Mark Hahn]

After switching to 8.1 several modules I use, like imagemagick, seem to be having trouble getting stdout back from a spawn.  Did something change in spawn?

The most likely cause is that you now want to listen for the 'close' event instead of 'exit'.  'exit' now fires when the child actually exits, 'close' fires when all stdio streams have closed.

Thanks...

I guess I'll have to wait until modules I use have been updated for 0.8.

I'd just start patching them, especially if the library's just
shelling out on the backend. Seems like it wouldn't be too bad. :)
