StdErr constants for Run()

[GEOSoft]

I'm not sure if the docs are wrong here or not

0x8 ($STDERR_MERGED) = Provides the same handle for STDOUT and STDERR. Implies both $STDOUT_CHILD and $STDERR_CHILD.

however

4 + 2 = 6, and BitOR(4, 2) = 6 or 
$STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD = 6 and
BitOR($STDERR_CHILD, $STDOUT_CHILD) = 6

That being the case, where does the 0x8 come from?

Something messed up the code block for the ticket so I'm redoing it without the blocks'

It is a completely separate flag. It merges the stdout and stderr stream into a single stream. This is not the same thing as stdout having its own stream and stderr having it's own stream.
