Bash Version: 4.4 Patch Level: 18 Release Status: release Description: Bash versions 4.0 thru 4.4.18 crash when declaring a variable as an indexed array and then as an associative array while inside of a function. Note that the opposite declaration order doesn't cause a crash, and neither does the same thing outside of a function. Also, other things can happen inside the function before the crash; it ultimately crashes on function return. Repeat-By: Run this code in a Bash 4.x shell that you don't don't mind crashing. "f() { declare -a x; declare -A x; }; f" Fix: Get everyone to upgrade to Bash 5.0, which is unaffected.
