[Help-bash] Redirecting output to stderr

[Marlen Caemmerer]

Hello,

I tried to output a echo to stderr.
Unfortunatelly it does not go to stderr but to stdout.
Only when I use it in a function it works.
When I put the first statement into a script it works as expected, too.

It works in zsh though and I guess it worked in 2003 in bash, too.
Here is my shell output:

address@hidden:~$
address@hidden:~$ echo "moo" 1>&2 > /dev/null
address@hidden:~$ echo "moo" 1>&2
moo
address@hidden:~$ echoerr() { echo "$@" 1>&2; }; echoerr "moo" > /dev/null
moo
address@hidden:~$

But I have no idea why it is so and if this is a bug.

Cheers
