Yeah, probably.  In the current system design it didn't seem to be
necessary because collecting the collector process's own stderr output
is usually not all that critical.  If we had the postmaster dup its
original stderr and the collector dup it back, that would be a more
complete but more complex solution.  (dup2 works on Windows, no?)
