Greetings;

When I run anything that is actually a shell script starting
with #!/bin/sh and maybe any thing that uses a shell
function I get five or six screens full of messages that
look like the following and all start with /bin/sh


/bin/sh: _openssl: line 25: syntax error near
`unexpected token `('
/bin/sh: _openssl: line 25: ` -@(in|out|oid))'
/bin/sh: error importing function definition for
`_openssl'
/bin/sh: _service: line 4: syntax error in
conditional expression: unexpected token `('
/bin/sh: _service: line 4: syntax error near `@(*'
/bin/sh: _service: line 4: ` [[ ${COMP_WORDS[0]} !=
@(*init.d/!(functions|~)|service) ]] && return 0;'


One example is /usr/bin/bashbug

but all scripts that start with #!/bin/sh
seem to have the problem.

One function that has the problem is one I wrote that does
an ls and pipes it to less. As follows;


function lm ()
{
ls -laNF "$@" | $(which less)
}


Anybody have any idea about what is causing these errors
or where to look?

Many TIA!
Dennis

Maybe /bin/sh is not symlinked to /bin/bash?
