With the propensity of programs that are normally run with stdout redirected
to /dev/null to write misc stuff to stdout, this should be breaking a
significant percentage of daemons... yet it isn't.

The fix here is obvious, but as the sky should be falling left and right,
I wonder what I'm missing.
