Public bug reported: 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) Copyright (C) 2019 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
