I've seen similar symptoms of extra line feeds in *some* versions of
VMS or the CRTL in relation to the piping code. While I haven't been
able to track them to their ultimate source, it looks like the extra
linefeeds are related to subprocess terminations.
One hypothesis: SYS$ERROR is being handled slightly differently in
more recent versions... the test routine supresses error messages,
but somehow a LF is still emitted.
