Not sure what you're testing. This is the result for me on both,
Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 1809:
Curious! It fails (for me) on W7 ...
Not sure what you're testing.
STC inherits a "read-only" open file descriptor from bash. On Linux
the file can be opened read-write (via procfs), because a new entry
is created in the open file table.
(opening the file read-write (via fdescfs) on FreeBSD would fail)
For this reason the output does not show what has been entered via
the here-doc.
In short, I was merely testing the semantics of Linux.
