This isn't a bug as you describe it. IMHO, the bug is that the shell
doesn't complain that you've failed to pass ``.'' a file name.
If the above syntax was ok, then
command | .
would also be ok (although the same as ``command | sh'' unless you're
running a *real* ksh) :-/
Anyway, it just looks weird.
