    regtest: Do not buffer stderr output · 817cc333
    Carlos Garcia Campos authored
    Some buggy documents can produce a huge stderr output because of parsing
    errors or whatever. We could give a file directly to Popen to write the
    stderr file, but we only want to create the file when there's output,
    because it's what we use to know whether the command produced output or
    not. So, instead of buffering the whole output and then write it to the
    file, now we read from the pipe while the command is running, writing
    the output in chunks to the file. This improves a lot the memory
    consumption when running some tests.
