I found a workaround with pipeProcess.

     auto pipes = pipeProcess(spec, Redirect.stdout | 
Redirect.stderr);

     scope(exit) {
       auto exitCode = wait(pipes.pid);
       if(exitCode) {
         writeln("*** Exited rc(", exitCode, ")");
       }
     }

     foreach (line; pipes.stdout.byLine) writeln(line);

     foreach (line; pipes.stderr.byLine)
       writeln(text("STDERR| ", line.idup));
   }

Thanks,
Dan
