This is a complete sample output with 1. only stdout and 2. stdout and stderr redirected.
Only stdout redirected, Console output:

Upon initial quick examination it appears cckddiag was purposely written to print some messages to stdout and others to stderr. I have no idea (yet) why the behavior you describe is occurring. Let me look into it.
CCKDDIAG prints output into stdout and stderr. For example if its called with options -d or -c, the header line of the DEVHDR is printed on stderr, but the corresponding dump is written to stdout. This is no problem, if the output is written to the console window. But if you would like to redirect the output to a file, you find the header line on the console window and the dump in the file. Also, if i redirect stdout and stderr, i find both in the file, but the dumps at the beginning and the headers at the end. That means, first, stdout is written and after that, stderr is written.
