Silly redirect error.

[Arne Weise]

Howdy strangers. I have this simple code in error.py:

 import os

 def main():

    return os.system("echo spam")

 main()

If I try to redirect the output, som error occurs and the expected
text is not in output.txt.

error.py > output.txt

"The handle is invalid."
(translated from swedish win2000 "Referensen (handle) är felaktig." )

If I change it to:
    return os.system("dir")
then I get the error:
"There is not enough space on the disk." (also translated)

This makes no sense as there is 8 gigs free diskspace.

Also, the same code in c++ works just fine.

Im using python 2.2 btw.
