I forgot to include the sizes of the std* files:

MacOS:
  270557 Jun 16 06:21 stderr.txt
    8192 Jun 16 06:21 stdout.txt

Linux:
 1532529 Jun 16 09:03 stderr.out
  333309 Jun 16 09:03 stdin.out
  351879 Jun 16 09:03 stdout.out

As can be seen, not only does MacOS produce an 8k stdout file, but
stderr varies significantly is size (270K vs 1532K).
