Steve,
    Your diagnosis was correct.

    I tried a few different things to fix it. I looked for a way to 
increase the default buffer size, but didn't find one. As a stop-gap, I 
swapped the stdout and stderr reads. That worked, which showed me this 
was the right diagnosis.

    I ended up spawning a thread to write the stderr output to a string 
buffer while the main thread wrote the stdout output to the console. 
When that got EOF, I did a join and then copied the string buffer to 
the console. That keeps the two streams separate.

    Thanks much for looking at my problem and for giving me such a quick 
solution.

Pat
