That's the way regrtest works; if you specify `-v' all output goes to
stdout, if you specify `-g' it goes into the output directory and if
you specify neither it goes into some internal buffer to be compared
with what's in the output directory.

A bit odd, yes.  I don't know if it's a deliberate behaviour (doubt
it).

Cheers,
Michael

well, take it from an old hand: the only reason it would be easier
to program in C is that you can't easily express complex  problems
in C, so you don't.                 -- Erik Naggum, comp.lang.lisp
