From what I vaguely remember it is Windows that closes those streams for
GUI executables, at least if they point to a terminal, it might work if
redirected, don't know. In Windows builds there used to be
a solver/$INPATH/bin/guistd.com or some such that if copied to the path
of soffice.exe and renamed to soffice.com and invoked instead preserved
stdout/stderr streams. Maybe it's still built.
