Jean,

[ forwarded reply from Herbert Xu ]


ash's behaviour is correct. POSIX imposes no restrictions on this.
Even with the patch, you will still see no output if you did


:(

Am I really wrong and the behaviour of ash is correct?
I simply can't believe that but I don't have any arguments if Herbert
says, Posix doesn't specify that so I'am free to implement it like I
want without bothering whether this makes sense or not.
Is it actually correct to mix the stderr output of the shell and a
command the shell is executing?

ash is minimal shell with support very much features.
Other shells is more dumb or bigger.
