Is there any better way, in a bash script, to pipe both stdout and stderr

Others have answered the question, but in case you want to know -- the
technique (not the syntax!) you're using with the subshell is required
in csh and derivative shells (e.g., tcsh). From the tcsh man page:
The shell cannot presently redirect diagnostic output
without also
redirecting standard output, but `(command > output-file) >&
error-
file' is often an acceptable workaround. Either output-file or
error-
file may be `/dev/tty' to send output to the terminal.
You may have picked up the habit from too much exposure to Solaris? ;-)
