On HP-UX, it doesn't crash, but doesn't work quite right either: imadev:~$ bash-4.2 -c 'echo "$BASH_VERSION"; a=(2 3 4 5); ((c=a[3], d=a[2])); declare -p a c d' 4.2.46(1)-release declare -a a='([0]="2" [1]="3" [2]="4" [3]="5")' declare -- c="5" bash-4.2: line 0: declare: d: not found 4.2 is the second-newest release, but 4.2.24 is 29 patches behind. The current patch level for 4.2 is 4.2.53. I'm apparently a bit behind the current patch level as well. It works in 4.3, as Chet said.
