Bug-Reference-URL:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2026-06/msg00126.html
Bug-Description:
On recent versions of macOS, the pipe size is dynamic and changes due to
system-wide total pipe usage, so we have to check whether or not bash can
use the size determined at compile time.
Patch (apply with `patch -p0'):
