[PATCH] test-xalloc-die: avoid unwarranted test failure on OpenSolaris 5.11

[Jim Meyering]

Without this patch, diffutils' "make check" would fail on OpenSolaris 5.11
like this:  (note the unexpected "1> out" line in "err2"):

    ...
    + create_exe_shims_ ...
    + return 0
    + shift
    + test 0 != 0
    + export PATH
    + test-xalloc-die
    + 2> err + tr -d '\015'
    + 0< err
    + sed 's,.*test-xalloc-die[.ex]*:,test-xalloc-die:,'
    + 1> err2
    + compare - err2
    + 0<< \EOF
    test-xalloc-die: memory exhausted
    EOF
    + diff -u - err2

Subject: [PATCH] test-xalloc-die: avoid unwarranted test failure on OpenSolaris 
5.11

* tests/test-xalloc-die.sh: Redirect stdout before stderr, (i.e.,
"> out 2> err", rather than "2> err > out").  Otherwise, with /bin/sh
on OpenSolaris 5.11 snv_134, we would end up with a stray "1> out"
line in the "err2" output file when running "make check" in verbose
mode (i.e., with set -x enabled).
