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.


Or, if you meant the other kind of redirection, in all tests that redirect stdio to a file, we have added a `if(remote) { platform.GetFile(...)}`, to retrieve the file from the remote side -- not really elegant and I would prefer using the `char[]` approach going forward.
