## How to reproduce
Copy following example into a terminal session;
```bash
gawk '{
print $0;
}' <<'EOF'
first
second
third
EOF
```
Press `<Enter>`, then `<Arrow-Up>`
> [user@host ~]$ gawk '{
> print $0;
> }' <<'EOF'first
> second
> third
> EOF
Notice the `}' <<'EOF'first` bit where the first new line is consumed.
Copy following example into a terminal session;
```bash
gawk '{ print $0; }' <<'EOF'
forth
fifth
sixth
EOF
```
Press `<Enter>`, then `<Arrow-Up>`
> [user@host ~]$ gawk '{ print $0; }' <<'EOF'
> forth
> fifth
> sixth
> EOF
Notice the `}' <<'EOF'` bit where the first new line is **not** consumed.

## Notes
I've tested the example commands on other devices, such as Raspberry Pi
(running their Debian based Raspian), and there are no issues with
quoted new
lines causing heredoc newlines to be consumed.
> Note, on my Raspberry Pi the Bash version is `4.4.12(1)`
I submitted a question to [StackOverflow], and tests preformed by
[@konsoebox]
exposed the bug seems to have been introduced between versions `5.0` and
`5.1`

I've also checked for differences with `shopt` options between devices, and
have not found anything, eg.
```bash
diff <(ssh rpi source '$HOME/.bashrc'; shopt -p) <(shopt -p)
```
> #> No diff output
... So suggestions on other things to compare are certainly welcomed!

Near as I can tell there be some bug when writing to `history`, because;
> [user@host ~]$ history 2 | head -n -1
> #> 512 gawk '{
> #> print $0;
> #> }' <<'EOF'first
> #> second
> #> third
> #> EOF
And when a session is closed history similar to the flowing is saved;
> [user@host ~]$ history 7 | head -n -1
> #> 487 gawk '{
> #> 488 print $0;
> #> 489 }' <<'EOF'first
> #> 490 second
> #> 491 third
> #> 492 EOF
