That's the question.  Why does it work on your system?

If you feel so inclined, would you save the following lines
to a text file in some directory, give the file execute permissions,
and then execute the file.  These lines encapsulate the problem with
the eselect code.


#! /bin/bash
function-one()
{
echo "FOOBAR"
}
function-one


This code fails on my system.  In fact, I booted into my old system,
a non-gentoo system, and the code also failed.  However, after booting
into a Linux rescue disk, that runs from a CD and ramdisk, the code does
not fail.  (All bash versions were 4.x.)

Although this problem is only of minor concern, it has become rather
annoying to me.

USE="net -afs -bashlogger -examples -nls -plugins -vanilla"

But I also compiled with vanilla and the results are the same.

Maybe in time I can gain some more insight into this behavior but
right now I am stumped.
