Bash Version: 4.3
Patch Level: 11
Release Status: release

Description:
	Given two functions wherein only one function sets a RETURN trap.  The other
        function will mistakenly call the other's RETURN trap upon it's return.

Repeat-By:
	# test trap RETURN if unset from called function
	function testU1() {
	    function _testU1_ret() { echo "${FUNCNAME}" ; }
	    trap _testU1_ret RETURN
	}
	function testU2() {
	    testU1
	    # when testU2 returns, will it call _testU1_ret ?
	}
	testU2
	# prints the following
	_testU1_ret
	_testU1_ret

Fix:
	For some reason the RETURN traps are not being stacked.  Instead, the
	current RETURN trap is just overwritten.
