"-n1" doesn't suffer from the same UnicodeEncodeError that "--boxed"
suffers from, but it doesn't run each test in a separate process (and it
turns out that I need each test run in a different process for other
reasons related to the way I capture video from the system under test).
So for now I'll switch to using a separate function for logging, instead
of capturing std{out,err}.
Thanks,
