BASH PATCH REPORT
=================
Bash-Release: 4.3
Patch-ID: bash43-007
Bug-Reported-by: [email protected]
Bug-Reference-ID: <[email protected]>
Bug-Reference-URL: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2014-03/msg00095.html
Bug-Description:
Using compound assignments for associative arrays like
assoc=( [x]= [y]=bar )
left the value corresponding to the key `x' NULL. This caused subsequent
lookups to interpret it as unset.
Patch (apply with `patch -p0'):
