Why do I get error messages after patching BASH for the Shellshock vulnerabilty?

Symptom:

ash: BASH_FUNC_module(): line 0: syntax error near unexpected token ´)'
bash: BASH_FUNC_module(): line 0: ´BASH_FUNC_module() () {  eval ´/cm/local/apps/environment-modules/3.2.6//Modules/$MODULE_VERSION/bin/modulecmd bash $*´'
bash: error importing function definition for ´BASH_FUNC_module'
bash: BASH_FUNC_module(): line 0: syntax error near unexpected token ´)'
bash: BASH_FUNC_module(): line 0: ´BASH_FUNC_module() () {  eval ´/cm/local/apps/environment-modules/3.2.6//Modules/$MODULE_VERSION/bin/modulecmd bash $*´'
bash: error importing function definition for ´BASH_FUNC_module'
bash: BASH_FUNC_module(): line 0: syntax error near unexpected token ´)'
bash: BASH_FUNC_module(): line 0: ´BASH_FUNC_module() () {  eval ´/cm/local/apps/environment-modules/3.2.6//Modules/$MODULE_VERSION/bin/modulecmd bash $*´'

The patching of BASH due to the shellshock vulnerability has introduced some changes with respect to the function definition syntax in exported functions

If you defined and export a function:

$ myfunction () { echo "hello world"; }
$ export -f myfunction

the corresponding environment variable is now different.

The old form:

myfunction=() { echo "hello world"}

The new form:

BASH_FUNC_myfunction()=() { echo "hello world"}

The two forms are not compatible and this triggers the errors that you see.

The workaround is to source the modules init script again in your (job submission) script:

source /etc/profile.d/modules.sh
