Absolutely right. Must have been a non-deleted artefact after I
tested something different in that line.

Together with the '{ ... } 2>&1' trick, this is a valid workaround.
What I wanted to achieve is a re-direct of any (sh) babel script
without this exec-command I do have to add.

However, I could imagine an additional babel-parameter like ":stderr
redirect" (or something more meaningful) because in most cases I
have to add the ":results output" line as well.
