Ah.  Forgot to mention that I was using CVS over SSH.  Glad you
figured it out anyway.

Thanx!

I'm trying to figure out what it does.  Lesse... ssh is run in a
subshell.  Then stdout is gated to a different file descriptor, and
stderr is gated to the file descriptor used by stdout.

Then the stderr stuff is sent through a pipe and into cat.  Outside
the subshell stdout and stderr are routed back to their standard file
descriptors.

I guess the effect is to delay stderr a bit, wrt. to stdout...?
