  Bug in your script I'm afraid.  SHELLOPTS is indeed a readonly variable, it
can only be set outside bash before starting it, definitely not from within a
startup script.  (Perhaps the reason it seems associated with --posix is
because that selects different startup files?  I'm guessing that you may have
ENV=~/.zshrc because it's not normal behaviour for bash to read zsh's startup
file!)

  Use "set -o igncr" instead.

    cheers,
