java version "1.4.0-beta"

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-beta-b65, mixed mode)

javac -Xstdout <filename> ... does not appear to work

"javac -Xstdout hak.tmp foo.java"

(where foo.java is a source file containing errors) gives
a) a zero-length hak.temp, and
b) creates a file "-Xstdout" containing the message:
    "javac: error writing -Xstdout; java.io.FileNotFoundException: -Xstdout (Cannot
   create a file when that file already exists)", followed by the output which
   would be produced by "javac -help".

31 May 2001, eval1127@eng -- was able to reproduce on Windows ME
(I got only the output from java --help in the file).

#4312654 is marked as fixed in merlin (final),
not merlin-beta (though it's marked as integrated there).
