It sounds like Execute is interpreting a pair of IO redirection
commands as a single keyword substitution command, as in
    Run <nil:> nil: whatever
Didn't someone claim that the decision to overload < and > was
deliberate?  Fooey.  There are lots of ugly ASCII characters you
could've used for parameter substitution that no sane person would put
in a filename.  Chalk up another wart.
