OK. So, is there any reason not to marshal stderr even when the
script returns with a zero exit status?

Alternatively, stdout could also be marshalled to the client, with
the difference that it would always be output. If I understand
correctly, it is currently not used (otherwise a new file descriptor
could be opened for that). I think it would really be nice to be
able to send information messages to the client, in particular in
the absence of client-side hook scripts.
