Hello,

I had an exec node that calls `npm run tydom-client some other params`  
I worked well until I upgraded Node-Red from version 3.0.x to version 3.1.x. But now it runs indefinitely.

 ![execNode](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/e/4/e42899f95432a0346dc418c1f5b67d961fbdd1d0.png)

I saw nothing special when displaying TRACE logs.

Do someone know what could have changed in Node-Red that makes my exec node running indefinitely?

Thanks
