I was not sure what was the expectation.  In fact, I'm still not quite
sure.

I am not sure about the change either.

The current options are:

	a.- make the test check for stderr and stdout, separatedly

	b.- fflush(stdout) in err

	c.- make err print to stdout

I suspect that similar tests for other commands would produce similar
errors, so (a) seems like an easy fix but feels like kicking the can
forward.

I'm not sure of the implications of (c).  Perhaps moving current
messages to stdout breaks some workflow out there?  The other thread
about disabling all hints has made me think.

The (b) option seems to me the less disturbing change, but it has not
attracted attention.

There is even a (d) that is to go back to test just the new error
message, not the whole output.

I will give it some thought.
