[INN2] no bash redirection with getlist



Hi,

if I want to retrieve active, newsgroups or some other file from a
newsserver I can use getlist. The manpage says:

GETLIST(1)

NAME
       getlist - get a list from an NNTP server

SYNOPSIS
       getlist [ -h host ] [ list [ pattern [ types ] ] ]

DESCRIPTION
       The  getlist program obtains a list from an NNTP
       server and sends it to standard output.

I wanted to redirect that output to a file in this way:

    getlist -h $SERVER active > $SOMEFILE

getlist writes its output to STDOUT and it seems there is no way to
redirect that output to a file (i also tried tee).

Do you know a way to redirect it or is it maybe a bug?
