Package: bash
Version: 4.2-1
Severity: minor

The bash man page's section for the "set" command reads,

   The current set of options may be found in $-.  The return status
   is always true unless an invalid option is encountered.

By default in this version of bash, The variable $- contains, "himBH".

However, the 'i' is not documented in the bash man page under SHELL
BUILTIN COMMANDS, under "set".

I can't find any reference to an 'i' shell option, so I suspect the
bug is with the default value for $-.
