I think this is due to incorrect bash function declaration syntax in that file, which uses both the keyword “function” and the empty parenthesis “()”.

In the syntax described here:

	http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/functions.html 

a bash function should either have the form:

	function function_name {
		command…
	}

OR
	function_name () {
		command…
	}

i.e. not both the keyword “function” and the parenthesis.
