This is weird. On Debian testing
ekiga -d 4 2>&1 > /tmp/ekiga.dmp
produces no output: ekiga.dmp is created but is empty.
Variations on the same theme also do not produce the expected output as
for example
ekiga -d 4 2>&1 |less
ekiga -d 4 *does* flood the terminal as expected.
echo "testing"

Your command changes descriptor 2
