Title:
  environment-modules (3.2.10-8) breaks with bash 4.3.11(1)-release

Status in modules package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  environment-modules (3.2.10-8) fails to execute batch (atd) jobs under
  bash 4.3.11(1)-release. This is likely caused by changes in bash
  functions in follow-up to shellshock fixes to bash.

  Test with environment-modules (3.2.10-8) uninstalled and this sample
  script:

  cat /tmp/ls.sh

  #!/bin/bash
  ls > out.ls

  Schedule with 'batch < /tmp/ls.sh' and you will receive the correct
  output.

  Now install environment-modules and try the same. You will receive an
  error along these lines:

  sh: 46: BASH_FUNC_module%%=() {  eval `/usr/bin/modulecmd bash $*`
  }: not found
  sh: 46: export: BASH_FUNC_module%%: bad variable name

  Admittedly, this has to be fixed upstream, but we do have a broken
  package as it stands.

  Tested on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-43-generic x86_64).
