tool should totally not stop processing before the file descriptor has
been closed (by gnucap). this has nothing to do with timing.

try to check:
- does gnucap write out things correctly if you do "gnucap>tran > file"?
- does tool process that file correcly "sh$ tool < file"?
- what causes tool to stop processing? usually any sort of
  "while(read(fd))" or "while(<>)" or "for lines in file"
  should definitely wait for EOF...

but i'm curious: could you provide a minimal example that reproduces the
issue?

have fun
