I stumbled into this problem when scp and sftp were down due to
some firewall changes.  So, I ran shar and captured the terminal
output.  I will modify "shar" to detect "output" and "stderr" both
going to a terminal and, if true, then reopen stderr to /dev/null.
The spurious line came from an "error" message.
