You are, of course, right. :) A little digging turned up this link

http://www.erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2006-April/019924.html

where it discuss how the port is marked as busy and thus blocks the
caller while the buffers are emptied. Very interesting and very stupid
of me to comment without being certain of it. :) Thanks for helping me
learn a bit more.
