That makes more sense, thanks. It did kind of freeze once when I tried 
it a few times.

Interactively, esh-proc-test/output/remote-redirect just fails with

    Check that redirecting stdout for a remote process works.
    Command logs: command: "*echo hello > #<eshell-temp-buffer>"

    (ert-test-failed
     ((should (eshell-match-output regexp)) :form
      (eshell-match-output "\\`\\'") :value nil :explanation
      (mismatched-output (command "*echo hello > #<eshell-temp-buffer>\n")
                         (output "echo: external command not found\n")
                         (regexp "\\`\\'"))))

But I guess it infloops in the terminal somehow...
