Bug-Description:

When evaluating and setting integer variables, and the assignment fails to
create a variable (for example, when performing an operation on an array
variable with an invalid subscript), bash attempts to dereference a null
pointer, causing a segmentation violation.

Patch (apply with `patch -p0'):
