Thanks.

The redirection works on linux, it's just not 100% reliable in tests. The thing is that inferior stdio arrives asynchronously wrt. everything else, so you really cannot be sure that by the time you do GetSTDOUT(), all output will be available. It works most of the time, but it fails in like ~0.1% of cases -- not much, but enough to be annoying when scrutinizing buildbot failures.
