If you split stdout and stderr, you can end up with the order of output changing - your output process might not get around to reading its input ends until it has data at both, and then it can't tell which is which.
- burgerbrain 15y ago"If you split stdout and stderr, you can end up with the order of output changing" That is true. I find it doesn't matter terribly much in practice though.

I'm not quite sure what you mean.
