[Rock-dev] Stop command freezes orocos.rb script

[Sylvain Joyeux]

As you guessed, Orocos.run calls #stop itself, so just not calling stop 
is not a proper workaround. You can get hold on the process object by 
adding a parameter to the block and forcefully kill the process.

Orocos.run 'deployment_name' do |proc|
   ...
   proc.kill(true, 'KILL')
end

> Does anyone have an idea about the reason of this issue / behaviour?
Out of the top of my head, I see only two possible reasons:

   * the task's updateHook blocks completely (does not return)
   * the CORBA layer blocks. Which should not happen. Theoretically.

Checking the first one is as simple as attaching a gdb on the remote 
component. Checking the second one is a bit harder. You could maybe 
generate omniorb logs on both sides and check what happens ...
