In ~/.bashrc I define the following which gives the only area in the file where 'ttr' is mentioned:

alias ttrr='echo "2012: Apr 28: May 26: Jun 30: Sep 29: Oct 27: Dec 1"'
function ttr() { 
   d="Jan 25: Feb 22: Mar 29: Apr 26: May 31: Jun 28: Sep 27: Oct 25: Dec 6"
   echo "2014: $d"
}
export -f ttr

That was the first place I looked when I saw 'ttr' in the error message. I have defined no 'ttr%%' function though and I don't know enough about Bash to know how to get from 'ttr' to either 'ttr%%' or 'BASH_FUNC_ttr%%. If you or anyone else knows how to make a connection between 'ttr' and 'ttr%%' please let me know.
