here-document/multiline parameter conflict

here-document/multiline parameter conflict

[J.D. Laub]

I didn't see this mentioned in Etc/BUGS for 3.0.0.  Is the following
behavior by design?  It seems really bizarre.

This (trivial) script works under a standard ksh:
#!/bin/ksh
cat <<EOF | sed -e '/t/{
s/t/T/
}'
one
three
five
EOF

Changing the first line to #!/usr/local/bin/zsh -f yields this:
quirk: unmatched ' [9]

However, if I embed the here-document within the parameter to sed, it
works under zsh:
#!/usr/local/bin/zsh -f
cat <<EOF | sed -e '/t/{
one
three
five
EOF
s/t/T/
}'

I cannot reproduce this and looking at the source it seems that it should
not happen.  Are you absolutely sure that /usr/local/bin/zsh is really
zsh-3.0.0?  Older zsh versions did have this problem.

Blab nab it, just goes to show no matter how careful you are, it's
still easy to look like a fool.  I had put 3.0.0 in my own bin while I
test drove it.  Yup, it's fixed.  I apologize for wasting your time.
