Hm, interesting.  I guess it's possible we are stripping out newlines
before invoking the shell.  I don't remember that being the case but it
could be.

I'm not exactly sure what your objective is but note that as written
this probably won't do what you want, because if you run:

/bin/sh -c 'echo foo
bar'

then it will echo "foo" and try to run the program "bar".

that's why we have an email archive :).
