I just updated the ubuntu systems I administer and the problem went
away.  Here is  a diagnistic I found online:

jec@lmfdb:~$ x='() { :;}; echo VULNERABLE' bash -c :
bash: warning: x: ignoring function definition attempt
bash: error importing function definition for `x'

On a vulnerable system, it outputs VULNERABLE.
