Logging always goes to redirected file.

I have the following config:

let my_level = LevelFilter::Debug;

let mut root_builder = Root::builder().appender("stderr");

let stdout = ConsoleAppender::builder()
    .target(Target::Stderr)
    .encoder(Box::new(PatternEncoder::new(
        "{d(%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S)} {h({l})} {t}: {m}{n}",
    )))
    .build();
let mut config_builder = LogConfig::builder().appender(
    Appender::builder()
        .filter(Box::new(ThresholdFilter::new((&my_level).into())))
        .build("stderr", Box::new(stdout)),
);

let root = root_builder.build(LevelFilter::Trace);
let handle = log4rs::init_config(config_builder.build(root)?)?;

Now, I've tried to run my program in Windows in the following ways:

1. ./myprogram > stdout.log
2. ./myprogram 2> stderr.log
3. ./myprogram > stdout.log 2> stderr.log

In both versions 1 and 2, the logging is written to the output log file and not to the console. Version 3 is as expected, and the logging is only written to stderr.log.

I'll need to test this on my Windows 10 machine when I get it back up and running. Are you running on Windows 10 or 11?
