bash suddenly doesn't like $() syntax

Hello,
I'm running the shells/bash port on 6.3, and I recently ran a portupgrade. All
of a sudden when I login, my standard .profile and .bashrc are causing a bunch
of error messages, like so
-bash: command substitution: line 39: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
-bash: command substitution: line 39: ` }")'
It would see that bash no longer likes the $() command substitution syntax.
Does that mean that it's defaulting to some sort of posix compatibility mode
now?
Thanks,
Mike
