Package: bash
Version: 4.0-4
Severity: normal
When attemtping to assign to an associative array, bash crashed and
rendered the pty unusable. The following is a cut-and-paste from the
bash session:
$ declare -A foo
$ foo=(dir=$HOME)
malloc: ../bash/hashlib.c:306: assertion botched
free: called with unallocated block argument
last command: foo=(dir=$HOME)
Aborting...
Warning: Program '/bin/bash' crashed.
Expected behavior is for foo["dir"] to equal the expanded value of
$HOME. Perhaps more importantly, expected behavior is that bash handle
the error more gracefully.
