Why can't I do this from ASP.NET?

The code below spawns the process and sits forever, never finishing. It doesn't matter what process I run. Also, if I use Shell with Wait it does the same thing. If I set wait to false in either approach it works just fine. It's ASP.NET 2.0 VB.NET DotNetNuke 4.0 on Windows Server 2003. I can't even phathom why this would hang up.

From: http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.asp?ID=5879

Public Sub ShellandWait(ByVal ProcessPath As String)

        Dim objProcess As System.Diagnostics.Process

            objProcess = New System.Diagnostics.Process()
            objProcess.StartInfo.FileName = ProcessPath
            objProcess.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal
            objProcess.Start()

            'Wait until the process passes back an exit code 
            objProcess.WaitForExit()

            'Free resources associated with this process
            objProcess.Close()

    End Sub
