mhpath Splits Error between stdout and stderr.

[Ralph Corderoy]

Binary package hint: nmh

Ubuntu 7.10, package nmh 1.2-3.

mhpath splits its diagnostic across stdout and stderr.

    $ mhpath -
    mhpath: - ambiguous. It matches
      -version
      -help
    $
    $ mhpath - 2> >(od -c | sed s/^/2:/) > >(od -c | sed s/^/1:/); sleep 1
    1:0000000 - v e r s i o n \n - h e
    1:0000020 l p \n
    1:0000023
    2:0000000 m h p a t h : - a m b i g u
    2:0000020 o u s . I t m a t c h e s
    2:0000040 \n
    2:0000041
    $

I'd expect the error to be on stderr only.

Setting to confirmed because I've given an exact case for reproducing.
