parrot -t

[Will Coleda]

Should "parrot -t 2> /dev/null" work the same as "parrot 2> /dev/null" 
? (that is, are the results of the program the same except for the 
additional output printed to stderr?)

I have a fairly large .imc (with some supplemented files .included in) 
which compiles to a 12048 byte .pbc.

When run as "parrot tcl.pbc foo.tcl", it goes into an infinite loop 
(not by design, I'm trying to debug something =-) and generates tens of 
thousands of lines of output before I control-C it.

When run as "parrot -t tcl.pbc foo.tcl 2> /dev/null", it immediately 
exits, printing nothing to standard out. (if I peek at the output to 
stderr, I see it's executing something. =-)

I've saved a snapshot of my code repository if it's needed for 
archaeology.
