Either "ksh" stands for "Korn shell", in which case it doesn't really
count - the Korn shell is supposed to be basically upward-compatible
with the Bourne shell, so it handles redirecting stderr independently of
stdout because the Bourne shell does - or it doesn't stand for "Korn
shell", in which case

	1) its creator should have thought of a better name, to avoid
	   confusion

and

	2) some additional information on what this "ksh" is might be
	   interesting.
