Additionally, stderr of spawned tasks is duped to stdout - they're not separate files.
Tasks started by hand have normal stdin, stdout and stderr connections.
If the output is not redirected to the console, it goes to the master pvmd logfile as before. PVM output redirection is inherited, so if you spawn a task from the console and redirect its output to the console, you'll also get output from all its children. Output from children will be sent to the master and printed on its stdout.
