If I set process-connection-type to nil, then I get expected results
(though I had to reduce n in order to avoid bumping into the file
descriptor limit):
"baz\nfoo\nbar\n": 58
"baz\nbar\nfoo\n": 41
"foo\nbaz\nbar\n": 1
Without setting process-connection-type (all tests with 26.0.91):
"baz\n": 86
"baz\nbar\n": 5
"baz\nfoo\n": 6
"foo\nbaz\n": 1
"baz\nfoo\nbar\n": 2
This problem is also talked about in [1] and [2].
