Comment (by dunfield):
I have replicated this with Sage 5.10 and Mathematica 9 on OS X (Leopard).
I believe the problem is that Mathematica 9 quits as soon as it hits an
EOF if you redirect its output:
math9 > /tmp/math9.log # quits immediately after printing the
banner to the logfile.
math8 > /tmp/math8.log # Takes keyboard input and prints output to
the logfile as expected.
Here's one workaround for this I found involving "tail -f" and a FIFO:

running-in-background-speed-up-execution-time]
but perhaps there's some easy way to imitate this just using pexpect?
