there have been numerous attempts and solutions to this problem.
including using netsend to pipe the stderr back into Pd, adding hooks to 
register new post()-backends (which could be the message-output of an 
object),...
the latter requires a patched Pd-version (the patch exists in the 
patchtracker, afaik) but miller never fully accepted it into the main 
source-tree (though part of it: the embedded pd-console is part of it; 
and the ability to choose between stderr and pd-console)
the former does not require such, but is less efficient (but then: it 
also grabs errors that are not "post"ed but thrown e.g. by ioctl's)


just search the list archives for "capture console output" :-)
