Package: dash
Version: 0.5.5.1-2.3
Severity: normal

The behavior I'm experiencing with DASH is that heredoc and shell expansion 
(backtick) don't work in the same command

I expect something like this to work,

jab...@tad:~$ cat - <<EOF && ls `pwd`
> blah
> EOF
blah
2009-07-25--20.18.36  Desktop    jabber.git  Pictures     trash
2009-07-25--20.24.25  Documents  Music       Podcasts     Videos
200907270             Downloads  pbuilder    public_html  workspace
backup                jabber     pear        selenium
jab...@tad:~$ 

- but in DASH it doesn't,

$ cat - <<EOF && ls `pwd`
