How was the Shellshock Linux Bash vulnerability found?

Since this bug is affecting so many Linux platforms, we might learn something about the process this vulnerability was found: was it an Eureka moment or a result of a security check?

Since we know Stephane found the Shellshock and others may know the process as well, we would be interested in the story of how he came to find the bug.

Thank you!
