Backticks nested in $( ) result in misdirected output #478
Description
In the following, either the /bin/echo command or the first print command must be sending their output directly to the script's stdout:
$ foo=$(print `/bin/echo bar`) # should print nothing
bar
$ print foo=$foo # should print "foo=bar"
foo=
$
This bug is in the latest code, fetched earlier today. It's a regression from older versions of ksh93, such as the one that ships with RHEL 7.
