Title:
export i fails to work in bash
Status in bash package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I ran the following commands:
```
# In parent shell
export a=1
export i=2
bash # open child shell
# In child shell
echo $a # 1
echo $i # (empty)
exit
```
This bug happens when exporting the "i" variable from parent shell to child
shell.
I have not tested what other variable names would trigger this bug.
* My OS: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
* Bash version (running `bash --version`):
```
GNU bash, version 5.0.17(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

I have also tested in the `sh` shell and did not see the problem:
```
# In parent shell
export a=1
export i=2
sh # open child shell
# In child shell
echo $a # 1
echo $i # 2
exit
```
