Bug (or wierd behavior) In C Shell

Consider the following two scripts:
OK Buggy
#!/bin/csh | #!/bin/csh
if ( 1 ) then | if ( 0 ) then
cat << HERE | cat << HERE
else | else
HERE | HERE
else | else
echo There | echo There
endif | endif
Executing OK is fine -- it echos 'else'. Executing Buggy gives an error
HERE: Command not found.
It appears that in Buggy it is disregarding the here document *even though
it is syntactically correct*.
The Bourne and Korn shell equivalents to this script work fine, ie, buggy.sh
echos 'There'. Bug in the C shell? Or a wierdness of syntax that I can
use to convince people Korn is better? :-)
