BASH PATCH REPORT

=================

Bash-Release: 4.3

Patch-ID: bash43-007

Bug-Reported-by: geir.hauge@gmail.com

Bug-Reference-ID: <20140318093650.B181C1C5B0B@gina.itea.ntnu.no>

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'):
