System.err

Here's something fairly trivial, but I've been curious about it for a
while.  When you shutdown Jigsaw politely, with /Admin/Exit, it returns an
HTTP Reply notifying the browser that it is shutting down and (typically)
it also reports this to System.err.  Our extensions to Jigsaw also make use
of System.err to report a whole lot of debugging information.  It seems
that any time we shut down Jigsaw after using our extensions, the "shutting
down server" message never gets to System.err. (The HTTP message goes out,
but not the message to standard error.)

Any clue why this might be happening?
