I agree.

No, the expression is correct. When I removed the big ca-bundle.crt
file, the .text contents were small enough for the error to go away.

I don't know the exact command, but seing as the error message goes
away if the "text" content is small enough (e.g. <1k), I'm guessing
it's implemented something like echo "${text}" > $dest.
