Gnu Bash allows function names with dash but are not showing up in speedbar

Gnu Bash allows function names with dash but are not showing up in speedbar

Have been writing some emacs minor modes in elisp and also some bash scripts.  
I thought that I would see the bash functions in speedbar, but function names incorporating
a dash (-) are not being shown, although Gnu Bash allows such constructs.

If you would boil it down into something that is (more)
understandable and (more easily) testable I'm happy to try it
and see if/how it fails ...

I have the bash function config-path in lantern.sh.  Because the function name
contains a dash (config-path is permitted as a function name in bash), I do not
see the function name being listed when looking at the speedbar frame.  But 
other filenames ( that do not use dash "-" ) do get listed in the speedbar frame.

config-path ()
  {
    trklink=$(readlink -f "$0")
    dcnpath="${trklink%/*/*}"
    frcpath="${dcnpath}/fractr"

    case $1 in
      decuneus)  echo $dcnpath ;;
      fractr)    echo $frcpath ;;
      *) ;;
    esac
  }
