It would be helpful if you could verify your theory by running the 
program from the command line with standard AND error output 
redirection, verifying that no output at all apears on the console when 
you type

cmd > /tmp/stdout 2>/tmp/stderr

You are correct in supposing that popen3 is supposed to trap all stdout 
and stderr output.
