Description:

The 'set' command is supposed to print function definitions "in a format
that may be reused as input for setting or resetting the currently-set
variables." However, it misformats command lists that use heredocs. The
'type' command has the same problem. (I noticed this problem because
Gentoo's build system tries to save and restore the environment this way,
and it was producing syntax errors.)

Thanks for the report.  This is fixed in bash-4.0 (it took a while for the
right solution to bubble up).
