Hmmm. Even though we're running Condor 6.4.5, if the job I submit gets
run in the standard universe then I get stdout back to the submitting
machine. It's when the jobs are palmed off as vanilla universe jobs that
stdout doesn't return to the Condor-G client (even though the log on the
client reports successful completion). It's this discrepancy that I find
difficult to understand.
