redirection of standard error does not work!

[MR]

i am creating a new thread and trying to redirect the standard error as
follows:

p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
p.StartInfo = psi; //parameter string
p.Start();
string stdError = p.StandardError.ReadToEnd();

i get the following InvalidOperationException:
StandardError has not been redirected

am i leaving out a step or two?
thanks

Could you post a short but complete program which demonstrates the
problem?

See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/complete.html for details of
what I mean by that.
