That's what I suspected. I didn't have the time to test it on Win95 but was
pretty sure that cmd.exe on Win9x would not be supporting these Unix like
features.

As far as I'm concerned I don't see why test results should go to stderr.
But I do not know about the possible background on Unix platforms for this.
If you want to do a patch I think this would be helpful and then see if
Alexandre is committing it ;-)
