Nothing critical, but I would like to grab the standard error output and
interleave it correctly with the standard output for the purpose of
ultra-verbose mode (-vvv). But it is pretty strange anyway, since there
really should not be any difference. Maybe it is just a timeout on the pipe
since it is not being used, or something? I'll have a further look.

Thanks for this important piece of info!
