So, either we should read both streams or redirect the stream we are not interested in to paren'ts stdout/stderr where hopefully the testrunner itself would read it.

The child does no (zero) writes to either stream.  It is invoked only to sleep until it is destroyed.
The purpose of the test is to verify the exception that is thrown when the other end(child) of the pipe is closed (because the process has been forcibly terminated).
