this change fixes this issue. I have no idea what, if any, negative repurcussions there could be to this change. The newline changes are my formatter speaking, don't mind them (unless you do mind them, in which case I'll add them back)

The <() process substitution syntax doesn't work for this one testcase
in bash for FreeBSD. The exact reason for this is unknown, possibly to
do with pipe vs file vs fifo EOF behavior. The prior behavior was this
test hanging forever, with no children of the bash process.

(cherry picked from commit ae628d4)
New FreeBSD sandboxes are based on jails and chroots.
They provide fairly similar capabilities to sandboxes on
Linux and allow for pure builds of FreeBSD nixpkgs.
Although it would also be possble to use jails for Linux
emulation, that is not supported with this commit.
