Looks like a duplicate of #1741

Btw, #6816 would probably fix this (it makes sense and that is what the discussion in #1741 indicates). @Fishrock123 do you want to go ahead and land it?

Indeed a duplicate, thanks!

Suggestion by @pgkos hotfixes the problem for now:

process.stdout._handle.setBlocking(true);
