This bug was introduced with patch bash42-005:
This function must accommodate v == NULL, since exported_p dereferences its argument.  Patch attached.

+ int
+ chkexport (name)
+      char *name;
+ {
+   SHELL_VAR *v;
+ 
+   v = find_variable (name);
+   if (exported_p (v))
+     {
+       array_needs_making = 1;
+       maybe_make_export_env ();
+       return 1;
+     }
+   return 0;
