I did link /bin/sh to zsh and ran pel 5.003 Configure; it was O.K.,
including & -d, makedepend and make ;-)

But small problem with command substitution anyway. The following:

% : `
bquote> cat > foo << eof
bquote> a
bquote> eof
bquote> `

runs perfectly on my /bin/sh (and should according to POSIX :)) but not
under zsh. (Including last three patches to heredoc an $(< ...) fix). It
wants something after the last backtick. The same problem with $() form.
If the heredoc delimiter is quoted, it is O.K. 

% : `
bquote> cat > foo << \eof
bquote> a
bquote> eof
bquote> `
%

Again in `` or $() form.

The example is probably perverse; so it just FYI
