These functions contain '-' in their name; that's a limitation of the downstream forked patch I applied early to get 4.1.13-6 out the door. Upstream solved it in a nicer manner, so you can once again have functions with '-' in the name.

You can still have the function even in 4.1.13-6, as long as you don't export it. > > Another thing happening is that some scripts are now sometimes giving this > error > message, but only when the problem function exports are not being exported. > > Segmentation fault (core dumped) Umm, that's not good. Can you please come up with a minimal reproduction formula? Which program is dumping core? Bash, or something else?
