I would like to get an explanation on what I should understand by:

	"first newline that is not in the middle of another shell word)


BTW: If I replace $(..) by `..` and feed the code to the original SVr4 Bourne 
Shell, I get the same output as you got from bash. I would guess that the bash 
output you added above is correct.

Note that the command substitution is part of a " quoted string and even 
without that, it would need to be parsed first.

The POSIX version from ksh88 (seen on Solaris) behaves the same with $(..) and 
the `..` variant and the same as bash.

The fact that ksh93 behaves different with $(..) and the `..` variant makes it 
obvious that ksh93 has a bug.
