Machine Type: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 4.2
Patch Level: 5
Release Status: release
Description:
It appears that the chkexport function introduced in this patch level
is prone to a segmentation fault.
Repeat-By:
A simple `bash -c 'unset TZ'` is enough to trigger the segmentation
fault on my system.
Fix:
Maybe check the value returned by find_variable in chkexport to ensure
it's not NULL? I noticed this is done in other places where
find_variable is used, so I think it makes sense to do it here too.
