Bash Version: 4.3 Patch Level: 42 Release Status: release Description: When using a here document in combination with newline escapes the command is incorrectly recorded in the history Repeat-By: This command works correctly: $ cat << END && cat \ /dev/null hello! END Press "up" and it is replaced by this: $ cat << END && cat /dev/nullhello! END Resulting in this error cat: /dev/nullhello!: No such file or directory Fix: Needs to retain the newline between /dev/null and hello! which is erased for some reason.
