[Bug translator/11853] New: staprun errors do not appear on xterm

["andi-bz at firstfloor dot org" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

With stap 1.3

By mistake I tried to do a probe without being root.

This just gives a useless error message:
Pass 5: run failed.  Try again with another '--vp 00001' option.

Even with -vvvvvvvvvv and the suggest --vp option it doesn't get
better, it doesn't say anywhere that I'm not root.

It looks like this gets printed internally according to strace by
one of the children:
13352 execve("/bin/sh", ["sh", "-c", "/pkg/systemtap-1.3/bin/staprun -"...], [/*
82 vars */]) = 0
...
13352 write(2, "ERROR: The effective user ID of "..., 141) = 141
13352 exit_group(1)                     = ?

but that never appeared on my xterm. It should.
