|    here-documents in ebuild    |

   I'm writing an ebuild that has a src_test() and one of the tests needs   
   to be a here-document (command <<- EOF). But I need to do a 'die   
   "Failed"' call if the test fails and I can't get the syntax right.   
   Imagine this:   
      
   src_test() {   
    ./frob <<- EOF || die "frob failed"   
    foo   
    bar   
    EOF   
   }   
      
   It passes 'ebuild digest' but fails on emerge. What's the right syntax?   
    Here's the error message:   
      
   [...]temp/environment: line 2329: syntax error near unexpected token `||'   
   [...]/temp/environment: line 2329: ` || die "frob failed";'   
    *   
    * Call stack:   
    * ebuild.sh, line 1641: Called die   
    * The specific snippet of code:   
    * preprocess_ebuild_env || \   
    * die "error processing environment"   
    * The die message:   
    * error processing environment
