I am confused; my shell script does *not* contain a function definition.

I copied and pasted a shell session:

First, show the script that contains a function invocation.
Then, define and export the function.
Then, call psql
Then, escape to a subshell.
Then, call the script that successfully calls the function.

Am I missing something?
