Hi Chet, segfault occurs during array assignment if an attempt is made to modify a variable of the same name from the environment. It appears to only occur in the global scope. I imagine the expected result should be either an error, or to evaluate in a mannar similar to `x=1 let "x[x++]=x"', for example.
One way to reproduce below:
~ $ ( rm core; ulimit -c unlimited; bash -c 'x=1 declare -a x=( [x++]= )'; gdb
-q "$(type -P bash)" -c core )
Reading symbols from /bin/bash...Reading symbols from
/usr/lib64/debug/bin/bash.debug...done.
done.

Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?
Core was generated by `bash -c x=1 declare -a x=( [x++]= )'.
