I can reproduce the OP's result with the system bash but not with 5.1 or 5.1 patch 4. % /bin/bash --version | head -n 1 GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin18) % /bin/bash -c 'od -bc <<< $(echo -e "foo\nbar")' 000 146 157 157 040 142 141 162 012 f o o b a r \n 010 % work/destroot/opt/local/bin/bash --version | head -n 1 GNU bash, version 5.1.0(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin18.7.0) % work/destroot/opt/local/bin/bash -c 'od -bc <<< $(echo -e "foo\nbar")' 000 146 157 157 012 142 141 162 012 f o o \n b a r \n 010 % bash --version | head -n 1 GNU bash, version 5.1.4(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin18.7.0) % bash -c 'od -bc <<< $(echo -e "foo\nbar")' 000 146 157 157 012 142 141 162 012 f o o \n b a r \n 010 -- vq

Are you certain that you're not testing /bin/bash (version 3.2.57) in
the case of macOS? I ask because the bug you describe is said to have
been addressed by the release of 4.4-beta [1].
z. Bash no longer splits the expansion of here-strings, as the
documentation has always said.
You can work around it by double quoting the command substitution.

Are these bash.v.posix diffs still useful? They _seem_ dated...
Since this "https://tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/bash/POSIX; doesn't seem to be version specific, I'm assuming these are in the latest bash version. I don't understand the benefit of the differences involving hashed-commands and recovery behavior. It seemed like these behaviors may have served a purpose at one time, but now seem more likely to create an unnecessary failure case. First behavior: How is it beneficial for bash to store a non-executable in the command-hash? And second, related behavior: Not searching for an alternative in the PATH if the old hashed value stops working. Is there a reason why the non-posix behavior should remain or might it be, perhaps, more desirable for the bash behavior to match the posix behavior?

There are two places in parse_string_to_word_list() that have #if 0...#endif blocks. The first one is tagged with your name. Change the #if 0 to #if 1 in both blocks and see if that fixes the problem. It fixes the reproducer in https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2020-11/msg00077.html and https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2020-11/msg00079.html which is a distillation of your original example to something easily reproducible. -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer ``Ars longa, vita brevis'' - Hippocrates Chet Ramey, UTech, CWRUc...@case.eduhttp://tiswww.cwru.edu/~chet/
