Bash Version: 5.1
Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release
Description:
Here strings ('<<<') fold newlines into spaces on MacOS, but not on Linux,
leading to incompatibilites in bash code expected to work the same on both
platforms.
This was fixed quite a while back, but still after Apple froze its version
of bash at 3.2.57. Maybe you should file a bug report with Apple.
(Just kidding, they don't care.)
