error with bump/diff when docs.json line is longer than 65535 (in 0.19.1 but not 0.19.0)

SSCCE

$ elm bump

internet connection. We have gotten reports that schools, businesses, airports,
etc. sometimes intercept requests and add things to the body or change its
contents entirely. Could that be the problem?

• Elm: 0.19.1
• Browser: fish shell
• Operating System: OSX Catalina

Additional Details

npx elm@0.19.0-no-deps bump worked fine.
