Since, in this case, I have control over the spawned program, I just
modified it to send its results to an UDP socket instead of standard
output, passing the port to use as a command line argument, so I can
avoid poUsePipes and set InheritHandles to false.
The workarounds in the link above can be used when you cannot modify the
program.
