Which is expected if your bash was started without UNIXMODE.  The temp
file for the here document was created by bash, and with CRLF, since
UNIXMODE wasn't set.  The cat command does not change this, since it runs
in UNIXMODE semantics.  The only way to fix that is to make UNIXMODE a
special variable for bash (which is easy).
