A friend has been using MWC's msh shell for some time and has just
encountered an odd problem.  Anything sent to 'stderr' disappears,
making certain programs difficult to run for lack of diagnostics.
Opening a file to "con:" still works, as does 'stdout', but 'stderr'
is gone.  Even redirecting 'stderr' (via >&) doesn't work ... the file
is created but nothing is written to it.  I also have msh but have never
had such a problem, so I can't help.

HINT:  the problem seems to have appeared when he installed Minix-ST on
		 his hard drive.  But disconnecting everything (except Magic Sac
		 cart. which was never a problem before) and booting from floppy
		 doesn't seem to help.

Does anyone know what is going on here?
Thanks.
