Bash 3.1.9 and 3.2.4: igncr setting not effective for 'source'd files

[David Picton]

Unfortunately I have to report that both versions of bash don't
implement the igncr setting if
commands are read from a sourced file.

For example, I have /etc/profile set up to issue

shopt -s igncr #

as the first line (or

set -o igncr; export SHELLOPTS #

for version 3.2.4)

If I do

unix2dos /etc/profile

the command

source /etc/profile

produces a series of error messages, indicating that <cr> characters
are not being
ignored.

If I issue the file as a script,  e.g.
bash /etc/profile

there are no errors.
