I just found out that if I remove "set -o posix" from my .bashrc file
(actually, from the bit of it that was generated by dotfile some time
ago), I don't get these annoying error messages anymore. I guess this
(from info bash) can explain the problem:
15. Function names must be valid shell `name's. That is, they may not
contain characters other than letters, digits, and underscores, and
may not start with a digit. Declaring a function with an invalid
name causes a fatal syntax error in non-interactive shells.
I therefore suggest renaming the functions to only use underscores and
no dashes.
