They're both the same file:

Thanks, that works fine.
Oddly enough, even though both io.stdout and io.stderr work (which can
be verified with their :write() methods), print doesn't work. The only
thing the Lua reference manual has to say about it is that print goes to
stdout. That's obviously not the whole story.
