emtpy functions are not properly parsed

[Han Boetes]

Hi,

I found this bug in bash-3.0 but also in 2.05b, I tested it on FreeBSD,
OpenBSD and linux so I think this is not platform dependant: Suppose I
create a testscript like this:


~% > testje
#!/bin/sh
something() {
}

~% chmod 755 testje
~% ./testje
./testje: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `}'
./testje: line 3: `}'



This is practical to be able to source functions from a configfile, so
they are not undefined. This is userfriendlier than making multiple
separate files to source.

This works fine in both zsh and ksh but not in bash.
