Can anyone tell me why here documents don't seem to work in bash?

My script contains the following:

bash$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/sh

cat << EOF

Why does this
not work as
expected?

EOF

The output of the script is:

bash$ ./test.sh
../test.sh: 49049764: No such file or directory


Thanks in advance.

Dale Wityshyn.
