Hi Eric,

On my system (OS X) the buffer does not popup. I just tried

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
echo foo 1>&2
#+END_SRC

in Aquamacs and Cocoa Emacs. Strangely, the output seems to be lost
entirely. Normally, stderr is captured in another buffer which I have to
open manually.

Okay, thanks. My elisp skills are very rudimentary and this is beyond
me. Maybe somebody else will pick it up if the interest is big enough.

Cheers,
