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.
