Nope, it's only since the last update.

Long story made short:
  - ct-ng uses some fd redirection for its log
  - previously, fd #7 was not used for this
  - showtuple redirected fd #7 to stdout, and it worked
  - last ct-ng version introduced the 'debug-shell' feature
  - the debug-shell redirects fd #7 to stderr
  - and it breaks now.

I did not catch this, as I did not do the update to ct-ng in Buildroot,
so did not run any test. Also, I'm currently using pre-built toolchains
for my current experiments, so it slipped through...

I've already fixed it in ct-ng right now, and I'm testing integration
in Buildroot (first test just finished OK).

I will push an updated patch later today.

It also means that people seldom use the ct-ng backend, and people either
use the internal backend, or external toolchains. So, a couple of questions:
  - should we finally switch over to using the ct-ng backend by default?
  - is it worth maintaing the ct-ng backend at all?

Yann E. MORIN.
