We have avoided to use here text inside test_expect_success, as
there have been reports that some otherwise reasonably usable
shells do not grok it.  Although I prefer to do everything,
including the set-up part, inside test_expect_success, please
move this code outside.

Also I do not think you would want to say touch $(pwd)/output
there inside the here text that begins with <<EOF not <<\EOF.
