Re: Bash security issue

[Paul Eggert]

I don't think it's worth modifying Autoconf to warn about this.  By the time a 
new Autoconf version is released, and used to generate source packages 
containing configure scripts that are themselves distributed, and these source 
packages are built, he problem will no longer be important.

I'm currently having to deal with this sort of thing:

$ ssh random-Red-Hat-host
...
bash: BASH_FUNC_module(): line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
bash: BASH_FUNC_module(): line 0: `BASH_FUNC_module() () {  eval 
`/usr/bin/modulecmd bash $*`'
bash: error importing function definition for `BASH_FUNC_module'
$

which is caused by a widely-distributed Bash fix that overreacted to the bug and 
is causing me more problems than the bug did.  Let's not do something like this 
with Autoconf.
