} Does this have anything to do with users/14240?

It's possible, but I can't reproduce the error.  Does he possibly also
have "ls" aliased to something so that there's more than one expansion
going on?

Note that in neither of his examples is he actually doing what he
wants to do.  In the first case (if it "worked") he'd be creating
two functions named "ls" and "-lt", and in the second example he's
creating a function named "foo" (not one named "de").
