Hi.

I was lucky in spotting the issue, and noticed after the first post that one could also use shellcheck. The heart of this solution, after listing the context, environment, and input shell script to be analyzed, is simply shellcheck <filename>:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env bash

# @(#) s2       Demonstrate shellcheck.

# Utility functions: print-as-echo, print-line-with-visual-space, debug.
# export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
LC_ALL=C ; LANG=C ; export LC_ALL LANG
pe() { for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done; printf "\n"; }
pl() { pe;pe "-----" ;pe "$*"; }
em() { pe "$*" >&2 ; }
db() { ( printf " db, ";for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done;printf "\n" ) >&2 ; }
db() { : ; }
C=$HOME/bin/context && [ -f $C ] && $C shellcheck

FILE=${1-s1}

pl " Input data file $FILE:"
cat $FILE

pl " Results:"
shellcheck $FILE

exit 0

producing:
Code:
$ ./s2

Environment: LC_ALL = C, LANG = C
(Versions displayed with local utility "version")
OS, ker|rel, machine: Linux, 3.16.0-4-amd64, x86_64
Distribution        : Debian 8.6 (jessie) 
bash GNU bash 4.3.30
ShellCheck - shell script analysis tool

 Input data file s1:
#!/usr/bin/env ksh

# @(#) s1       Demonstrate forms for function definition.

# Utility functions: print-as-echo, print-line-with-visual-space, debug.
# export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
LC_ALL=C ; LANG=C ; export LC_ALL LANG
pe() { for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done; printf "\n"; }
pl() { pe;pe "-----" ;pe "$*"; }
em() { pe "$*" >&2 ; }
db() { ( printf " db, ";for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done;printf "\n" ) >&2 ; }
db() { : ; }
C=$HOME/bin/context && [ -f "$C" ] && . "$C"
pe

function a {
  echo " From a"
  return
}

b() {
  echo " From b"
  return
}

function c() {
  echo " From c"
  return
}

a
b
c

exit 0

-----
 Results:

In s1 line 26:
function c() {
^-- SC2111: ksh does not allow 'function' keyword and '()' at the same time.

Some details on shellcheck:
Code:
shellcheck      analyse shell scripts (man)
Path    : /usr/bin/shellcheck
Version : ShellCheck - shell script analysis tool
Type    : ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV ...)
Help    : probably available with -h
Repo    : Debian 8.6 (jessie) 
Home    : http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ShellCheck

Best wishes ... cheers, drl

NAME
shells - shell database SYNOPSIS
/etc/shells DESCRIPTION
The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser- shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root. A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored. The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/ksh93, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh, /bin/sh, /bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/ksh93, /usr/bin/pfcsh, /usr/bin/pfksh, /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh, and /usr/sfw/bin/zsh. /etc/shells overrides the default list. Invalid shells in /etc/shells could cause unexpected behavior, such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1). FILES
