If you checked the return value of this call, you'd find it
fails since WriteConsole only works if the output is, in fact,
a console.
You need to use WriteFile when it is redirected, which you can
detect with GetFileType to see if it is a character device or
not.
Just found
[this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45805785/why-cant-i-redirect-output-from-writeconsole) on the net. Hmm... I didn't know that Windows has its own nuances in working with threads. Thanks for the tip.
