Description of problem:
"unset" against an array with local scope makes the array unusable until issuing inline "local"

Assume this also effects current releases since I didn't see any bug reports, quick verification anyone?


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bash-2.05b-31

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. paste this into bash:

function testLocalUnset () {

local -a testArray
testArray=(a b c)
echo 1: ${testArray[@]}
# result: 1: a b c

unset testArray
echo 2: ${testArray[@]}
# result: 2:

testArray=(a b c)
echo 3: ${testArray[@]}
# result: 3:

local -a testArray
testArray=(a b c)
echo 4: ${testArray[@]}
# result: 4: a b c

}

testLocalUnset



Actual Results:  1: a b c
2:
3:
4: a b c


Expected Results:  1: a b c
2: 
3: a b c
4: a b c

Additional info:

Setting normal severity rather than low just because it is in a venerable tool.
