One example is /usr/bin/bashbug
These functions seem to be defined in /etc/bash_completion.
but all scripts that start with #!/bin/sh
seem to have the problem.
One function that has the problem is one I wrote that does an ls and
pipes it to less. As follows;
function lm ()
{
ls -laNF "$@" | $(which less)
}
Anybody have any idea about what is causing these errors
or where to look?
Maybe /etc/bash_completion contains some code that bash doesn't like
when it's called as sh. But another question is why a non-interactive
shell even reads that file. That's a misconfiguration for which I don't
really have an explanation.

These are interactive shells, terminal windows in gnome. At
least the initial command is entered on th cl
Just for giggles I reinstalled bash-completion and it made
no difference.
Also determined that it happens in the non-root terminal
window but not in the root. I first discovered it with fakeroot.
Any other ideas, let me know!
TIA!
