g_io_channel_...() could be buffering the input/output.  try adding a
g_io_channel_set_encoding(gioout, NULL, NULL); after the
g_io_channel_new() call.  Also, the following text may provide some
insight.

"The default encoding for GIOChannel is UTF-8. If your application is
reading output from a command using via pipe, you may need to set the
encoding to the encoding of the current locale (see g_get_charset())
with the g_io_channel_set_encoding() function.

If you want to read raw binary data without interpretation, then call
the g_io_channel_set_encoding() function with NULL for the encoding
argument."
