I think this is a feature and not a bug. The bug just comes up when using the
"-l" option to redirect output to a log file. Without this option you can argue
the user wants stdout/stderr to remain open to see the messages coming from the
backend. With a log file redirection stdout/stderr should be gone. This works
nicely with pg_ctl as both, stdout and stderr, get redirected to the logfile.
With gtm_ctl, however, only stderr gets redirected. Now the question is why...
