I get exactly that behaviour with a program I have been working on. I traced it to the fact that I ran bash with stderr not attached to a tty. I could 'fix' it by either duping stderr to stdout, or patching bash to not worry about stderr not being a terminal. Since I actually wanted to seperate the stdout and stderr output of the shell and child processes, I ended up patching bash. I don't know if this is your issue. DF
