Description:
Redeclaring array variable leads to leaked memory in bash 5.1
It is required to define var as `declare -a FOO=(a b c)`
defining it simply as `FOO=(a b c)` does not introduce memory leak.
It's strange. The process RSS size definitely grows, but valgrind and other
tools don't report any leaks. I'll have to look at it.
