Subject: popen broken in win32?

I am running a visual studio command line build via IO.popen, like so:

IO.popen("devenv my_solution.sln /rebuild 'release Win32'") do | pipe |
	pipe.each_line { |line| puts line }
end

While if I run this command in a cmd window, I get hundreds of lines of 
output. I can redirect the output on the command line like this:
devenv my_solution.sln /rebuild 'release Win32 > output.txt, and I don't 
lose any output.  So I am pretty sure the build output is going to 
STDOUT, not STDERR.

ruby -v
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-mswin32]

I have also tried replacing the pipe.each_line with str = pipe.read, but 
got the same results.

Thanks,
