Version : GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(8)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)

1st Bug
following output is created by man, help and info commands:

myPrompt>man man
bash: man: command not found

myPrompt>help
...
getopts optstring name [arg]
...

myPrompt>info
...
* fold: (coreutils)fold invocation.             Wrap long input lines.
* grep: (grep).                   print lines matching a pattern.
* groups: (coreutils)groups invocation.         Print group names a user is in.
* head: (coreutils)head invocation.             Output the first part of files.
....

info command gives no getopts information.
Finally, the bash itself doesn't know the getopts function

2nd Bug
User defined functions like

function usage
{
	echo blabla
}

produce a "function: not found" output.
