Try the following experiment 8-)

dlogin >& /tmp/output

The only thing that gets written to the file is the "exit" message, the rest
somehow escaping to your terminal screen.

I dunno exactly what it's doing, but "strings .../dlogin" (3.1 VAX) revealed
the constant "/dev/tty" so that was my initial assumption.
