I tried your example (reduced to the to given lines) on my FreeBSD
system and got identical output both ways. So I suspect it's a linux
(or distro) thingie. I'm quite puzzled as to what could be the
cause, though.
Nevertheless, I'd still be cautious about here documents and variable
substitutions. (Maybe sam -d <<'EOF' would be better suited for
normal use.)
