I've also noticed weird behavior with "declare -gr" the r sometimes 
seems to override the g, but not specific to functions It seems to be 
specific either to the source file or to the compound statement. I 
haven't been able to figure out exactly whats going on there. I haven't 
been able to reproduce it in a simple example. this is most readily 
noticeable with set -o nounset
