Maybe error is pairs " ", ' ', ``, ... end pair is missing ?
I'm with kshji the script most likely has an unmatched quoted pair. The easy way to find this is to download an editor that understands shell script. I use 'jedit' on my pc and copy any scripts I'm having issue with and open them in jedit. The editor will change all the text to PINK between quotes, so if your missing one it is obvious where you need to insert one to correct the issue.
if I might add, both methyl and jlliagre are right-ish on the matter of the syntax...but kshji is most right in suggesting a bum char is gumming up the works...
The "<<- _EOF_" is very much usable (as well as not necessary...), so long as the shell supports it and the whitespace is in fact a space (hex:20). A tab char will not do, and actually causes the function to hang altogether, so an od -c would be most helpful in sorting out the root cause of the failure. Otherwise, manually re-create what you want to happen and then copy/paste it from whatever history file you're logging to...
