Subject: [PATCH] init.sh: give more portable redirection-related advice in a
comment
* tests/init.sh (stderr_fileno_): Update the advice in comments.
See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/22488
for lots of discussion. Stefano Lattarini suggested the solution
of putting "9>&2" after the command. Reported by Bruno Haible.
