Bug in /bin/sh??

[Jim Brayton]

The following appears to be a bug in /bin/sh under Ultrix 2.2 and 3.1 (the only
Ultrix system's I have access to):

The short shell program:

=================================
#!/bin/sh

bogus=`cat << END
a
END
`

/bin/echo $bogus
=================================

should print an 'a' when run, instead under Ultrix it reports an error message like:

	/tmp/sh108410: cannot open

I've tried this under SunOS 4.0 and it works as expected.  Is this a known problem with
Ultrix?
