I'm not sure if this is a bug, because I doubt that function
exporting was intended to use that way. Just source a file with the
function definitions...

If you want to save the function definitions, use:

  declare -f > func-defs

or:

  declare -f func1 func2 > func-defs

And then source that file. And, bug gone ;)


I'm pretty sure it's not a bug, because you're just supposed to use
(my guess) function exports between live processes, not save and then
restore.
