It has a "trouble" flag that is set when the underlying stream throws an IOException. So to get this right you'd need to subclass PrintStream and override all its methods to forward to a thread local variable. Nice, but unfortunately a PrintStream isn’t thread safe.

If You spawn a new process in Java, You can very well capture/override the standard input, output and error streams for that process only. I don’t quite understand this.
