Upstream solved it in a nicer manner, so you can once again have functions with '-' in the name.

You can still have the function even in 4.1.13-6, as long as you don't export it. > > Another thing happening is that some scripts are now sometimes giving this error > message, but only when the problem function exports are not being exported. > > Segmentation fault (core dumped) Umm, that's not good. Can you please come up with a minimal reproduction formula? Which program is dumping core? Bash, or something else? Is it due to trying to execute the function that was not imported? > > Any hints about what I should look for to make export of my bash shell functions > reliable?
