There is a regression involving alias expansion, a here-document, and a command substitution. The following worked fine until dash 0.5.8; it throws a syntax error as of dash 0.5.9.

alias BEGIN='{' END='}'

cat <<eof
$(echo hi)
eof
END

Nice find.

When the newline after cat <<eof is seen, checkkwd is changed to indicate that the shell is in a state where aliases can be expanded. Then, parseheredoc() is called, which in turn calls readtoken1() to parse the here-document. readtoken() re-sets checkkwd once it is done, but readtoken1() does not, so normally this preserves the "can expand aliases" state. However, nested command substitutions do reset checkkwd, so things break.

Until 0.5.8, parseheredoc() was called first, and only after that did checkkwd get changed.

Either parseheredoc() needs to save and restore checkkwd, or the code calling parseheredoc() needs to ensure that it sets checkkwd as appropriate afterwards.

Saving and restoring checkkwd in parseheredoc() seems the simplest and the most future-proof, so here's a patch to do that.

There is another place that parseheredoc() can be called from where checkkwd was not being corrected afterwards:

   alias BEGIN='{' END='}'
   : <<EOF &&
   $(echo hi)
   EOF
   BEGIN
   echo ok
   END

This has been failing for longer.

The patch fixes this as well.
