The script:
#/bin/bash
# testlink.sh
# must be run as root
file1="$1"
shift
mandir=/usr/local/share/man/man3/
cp "$file1" "$mandir"
cd "$mandir"
echo '$hash = '"$#"
while (( "$#" )); do
file2="$1"
ln "$file1" "$file2"
shift
done
Results:

r variable default value: 0
Begining with an assignment operator, enter C code for this option:
= 1
So getans() is the origin of the problem.
I have spent quite some time rewriting that and in the above it is the
cleanest version I've written but it has clearly caused problems down the
track.

A trivial script example that just works:
#!/bin/bash
# echo a prompt and write the user's response to a file.
echo "Enter variable name: "
read ans
echo "$ans" > tmpfil
echo "Enter variable type: "
read ans
echo "$ans" >> tmpfil
echo "Enter variable default value: "
read ans
echo "$ans" >> tmpfi
