    Remove obsolete workaround for newline added by pipe.communicate()
    
    Older versions of the python runtime would add a newline to output
    obtained via pipe.communicate(). Current versions do not leading
    to output being stored in reports without a trailing newline
    character.
    
    Remove the workaround to ensure that stored content matches that
    obtained via simple shell redirection ("/some/command > file").
