Here's what I get, so I suppose lablgtk2 is not guilty:

lablgtk.cmxa lablglade.cmxa lablgnomecanvas.cmxa lablgnomeui.cmxa  
lablpanel.cmxa gtkInit.cmx gtkThread.cmx

Hm, maybe the error is in how I use Omake. I'll look into.

No, not at all. The redirection happens in the same thread, so if the  
pipe buffer is full, all write operations will block. And because the  
application is single threaded, the reader never gets a chance to  
empty the pipe. Thus, freeze.

I'm piping stdout, because that's the only way I was able to redirect  
stdout to a gtk text widget (using a GIOchannel: GMain.Io.*). If  
anybody has a better idea, I'd be glad to hear it. I was originally  
thinking of  an out_channel that writes to a buffer instead of a  
file, but the Ocaml standard library seems to be missing this  
functionality. Or is it?

Anyway, thanks a lot for your help. I appreciate it.
