Bug description:  HEREDOC at EOF Error

Description:
------------
Bug observed in 5.2.9. Shared hosting - can't upgrade. Review of changelog
does not suggest a fix has been made.

Documentation stated HEREDOC closing line must be only text on line, but
it also appears that the closing text MUST be followed by a new line. If
the HEREDOC closes the file with no terminating /n, an error is produced.
Addition of a 1-line comment in a following line clears the error (as does
anything else that forces a newline - my editor strips trailing /n from the
document).

I'm not sure if this is a documentation error or a scripting error as I
don't know which way is intended behavior.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$v = <<<EOF
Anything, but there is nothing in the file following
the upcoming semicolon
EOF;

Expected result:
----------------
no output. Assigns variable.

Actual result:
--------------
"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end"
