Error Java hangs even though shell script’s execution is completed

I'm trying to execute a script from within my java code. The execution of the script is over(it's pid is no more), but java is stuck on waitFor() method of the shell script process!. And yes, I'm reading output and error streams in 2 separate threads. Yes, they are being joined at the end(after waitFor()).

The aspect which makes this question relevant to this forum is, if I put the following line in the shell script(at the top), everything seems to work fine.

Code:
exec 3>&1 > /tmp/some_log 2>&1

And no, interestingly enough, the script doesn't generate any output!. Zero chars!. So putting exec statement there makes no sense!

But still, magically enough, putting exec statement in the script makes java work!. Why??

How can I avoid that illogical exec statement in the script?.

exec has any other functionality here, other than redirection?

P.S: This definitely has got something to do with exec command, hence, this question is meant for shell/script guys and not necessarily for Java guys.

NAME
jsymphonic - File manager for Sony's MP3 players SYNOPSIS
jsymphonic DESCRIPTION
jsymphonic manages files stored on a Sony MP3 player plugged onto the computer. Important note: The MP3 player should be mounted first ! You might want to use pmount(1) to mount it without needing root privileges. The first time it is run, jsymphonic will ask you in which directory the MP3 player is mounted. This directory should not change, or you will need to configure it again. If jsymphonic complains that it cannot find the OMGAUDIO folder, it means that either the music player is not mounted, either the path of the player has not been set yet. If that is the case, set it using the JSymphonic/Properties menu item. JAVA-WRAPPERS NOTE This program is a shell script wrapper based on java-wrappers(7). You therefore benefit from several features; please see the java-wrap- pers(7) manual page for more information about them. SEE ALSO
