What steps will reproduce the bug?

node --experimental-transform-types index.ts

try {
  execSync('node -e \'console.log("new log");console.error("new err");process.exit(1)\'')
} catch (error) {
  const err = error as ExecException;
  console.log(err.stdout);
}

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

always

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

print "new log" is expected cuz ExecException.stdout is a string type.

What do you see instead?

printed <Buffer 6e 65 77 20 6c 6f 67 0a>
