Bash Version: 3.0
Patch Level: 16
Release Status: release

Description:
        When sourcing a bash script from a 'parent' script the parameters/args 
supplied to the 'parent' script are
        passed on to the sourced script (!)
        unless there are parameters supplied to the sourced script , which 
makes me conclude its a bug

Repeat-By:
        so i.e.

        a) . somescript

        and

        b) . somescript -q

        will behave differently

        in a) somescript will receive its parents args while in b) it does not
Fix:
