This puzzles users and leads to speculation - see e. g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33245568/why-does-bash-always-add-a-newline-when-expanding-here-strings - on correctness, dependability and intent of the behavior. I'll add something to that effect. -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer ``Ars longa, vita brevis'' - Hippocrates Chet Ramey, ITS, CWRU chet@case.edu http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/~chet/
