In article <RSM.92Oct9182323@coral.math.arizona.edu> rsm@math.arizona.edu (Robert S. Maier) writes:

   The function `call-process', which is coded in C in callproc.c, doesn't
   distinguish between output sent by the process to stdout, and output sent
   by the process to stderr.  Both get sent into the same pipe, and inserted
   into the same (specified) buffer.

   Is this a bug or a feature?

A bug of course.  Intentional, but a bug none the less.
