Thanks for the explanation :) I haven't looked into the exact issue from
Tony - I thought though that he meant there is out-of-band stderr output
when using update over stdio. But if its all about progress messages he
complains about, then these should be properly streamed to the 'p'
(progress) stream already. If not, then that is a bug :)
