Or maybe it's just that a Cygwin terminal window isn't a console in the Windows
sense, so running the tests from a shell prompt in that window doesn't work;
the output *does* go to the console in a cmd.exe prompt.  (It works a little
better if you do

    start/wait wireshark -D

because, if you do that, you don't get a shell prompt until Wireshark exits;
Wireshark's built for the Windows subsystem, not the console subsystem, so
cmd.exe doesn't, by default, wait for it to finish before printing a shell
prompt.)

Redirecting to a file doesn't work, but I think that's the other bug I noted,
where, when we create a console, we forcibly redirect out from under whatever
redirect the user did.
