Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 39
Release Status: release

Description:
        Bash does not export arrays. Documentation does not list this
as a restriction.

Repeat-By:

 $ A=(1 2 3)
 $ B='foobar'
 $ export A
 $ export B
 $ typeset -p A
 declare -ax A='([0]="1" [1]="2" [2]="3")'
 $ typeset -p B
 declare -x B="foobar"
 $ bash
 $ typeset -p A
 bash: typeset: A: not found  # unexpected
 $ typeset -p B
 declare -x B="foobar"

Fix:
       Unknown
