Shell-script[sh] mode has a bug with inline scripting

[Peter Dyballa]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing
list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

In GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.8, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

It's for example this code snippet in a Bourne shell script in which I
try to connect to Oracle's Server Manager:

 svrmgrl <<        EOF
     CONNECT INTERNAL
     STARTUP
     EXIT
        EOF

Please notice that in front of "EOF" there are no spaces but unbreakable
spaces \0240, dec 160 0xa0. The X Windows dumps show that the colour for
the inline script continues till the, marking even comments as part of
the inline script.
