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.
