What (the #@$!%) is 'tee' waiting for?

This has been bothering me for years now... 

Sometimes when I 'tee' a command, like:
./run

man tee :)

serve tee -type 'Earl Gray' -temp hot

tee will run indefinitely until it receives something. If the script put
nothing in stdout, tee will just sit there.

Yes, I am sure that the script finished.
I *MAY* be able to build a test case...
Thanks!

Another thought: does the script actually run to begin with?
