>Description:

sh accepts trailing && or ||, which ought to be a syntax error.

>How-To-Repeat:

sh -c 'true &&'
sh -c 'true ||'

Both ksh and bash report a syntax error. For that matter, so do csh
and tcsh.

zsh does not, but zsh can't really be taken as an authoritative
reference.

>Fix:

dunno, the sh parser is an eldritch horror
