Something like

	(
	cat >a <<'EOF'
	stuff
	EOF
	)

will also fail in the same way, saying that it can't create some file
in /tmp.

I used to use that sort of thing heavily in my scripts, until we
switched to Ultrix...

I think it was always failing in contexts where the "here-document"
was in a sub-process.
