No, I think it is the popen() (or rather, Qt reading from the pipe).



1) If I butcher DataDirectProcessor::DDPost() to:

    return popen("cat /dev/null", "r")

it will do busy-wait reading for the second or third days' grab
(but, interestingly, not fail on the first).


2) If, instead, it does:

    return fopen("/dev/null", "r");

it will happily grab each day's empty data, and finish.




I suspect a QProcess() would work always correctly with wget,
but that doesn't really fit around the file caching that we
do with the DD (SD?) data.
