I never like the idea of throwing stderr away blindly. If there's a particular message that you know you can safely ignore, I would grep it out. There's a trick for grepping on stderr and keeping it separate from stdout... Let's see if I can find the link...
In my patch, only stdout is thrown away. I can't see how it makes things any worse though, since there are no stdio descriptors open at all in hotplug scripts, so stderr will be discarded anyway.
I guess the real problem is that the chat code seems to expect an open stdout descriptor, and hangs when it can't write to it. My patch "fixes" that by redirecting stdout, thereby giving it a file descriptor to write to.
