Maybe "bash"ism is the wrong term for it, but…

… i have no idea what works in korn shell, i only had a look at IEEE Std
1003.1, 2004 Edition and found no reference to some buildin function
"function". /bin/sh should only require a POSIX-compilant shell, not a
bash nor a korn (nor a mir*) shell.
It is even changed like this in the busybox trunk since months (commit
message: "stop using bash'isms ('function')"), but sadly not in the 1.4
tree. Until this happens, we have to patch it. Whenever we change to a
newer major version, this can happily be dropped.

Exactly, i use dash as /bin/sh. Maybe all of you should get a "better" /bin/sh,
too =P
