Is it possible that scripts and executables write to file descripter 3 or

STDOUT (normally) and file descripter 2 is SDTERR (normally).
So, perhaps you might want to try to capture/merge the output of file
descriptor 3, or 4 or 5?
The syntax for merging is quite similar to the "2<&1" for bash which means
"please merge the STDERR with the STDOUT".

Ken:
Thanks for the suggestion. Having a bit of difficulty getting all the
different ways of redirecting to work (makes me wonder about both my
copy of bash and my understanding of bash).
I was able to get:
+++
make > make.out 2>&1
+++
to produce the same results as "&>".
If I replace the "2" with 3/4/5, I still get the basename going to
screen, but the makefile's error as well (which is what I would expect
since I am not redirecting "2")
