System : OpenBSD 5.8
Details : OpenBSD 5.8 (GENERIC) #1170: Sun Aug 16 02:26:00 MDT 2015

Architecture: OpenBSD.amd64
Machine : amd64
>Description:
The shell surreptitiously parses comments within $()-style
command substitutions. Unbalanced single and double quotes and
backticks in comments within command substitutions (such as the
word "doesn't") cause obscure and hard-to-trace syntax errors.
Obviously, comments shouldn't be parsed under any circumstances.
>How-To-Repeat:
#! /bin/sh
: $( true # comment with unbalanced quote'
true)
>Fix:
Unknown.
