Hi,

I had the exact same problem (but without QProcess). You have to use a trick to 
disable the buffering, I don't know if its possible with QProcess, you will have 
to use QProcess::CreateProcessArgumentModifier or most likely CreateProcess 
directly.

If there is interest I can copy some of my data, but currently I can't access it.

Kind regards,
Björn.
