[ale] redirection stupids

I'm trying to collect the output from time to a file. For an unknown
reason I have managed to not do the simple redirection process right.

time psql <input.sql >outputfromsql 2>timeoutfile

timeoutfile is created but empty.

according to man 1 time the output is to stderr which _should_still_ be 2.

time 2>timeoutfile psql <input.sql >outputfromsql
does the same thing.
