			     BASH PATCH REPORT
			     =================

Bash-Release:	4.2
Patch-ID:	bash42-046

Bug-Reported-by:	"Theodoros V. Kalamatianos" <thkala@gmail.com>
Bug-Reference-ID:	<20140112011131.GE17667@infinity.metashade.com>
Bug-Reference-URL:	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2014-01/msg00044.html

Bug-Description:

Bash-4.2 patch 32 introduced a problem with "$@" and arrays expanding empty
positional parameters or array elements when using substring expansion,
pattern substitution, or case modfication.  The empty parameters or array
elements are removed instead of expanding to empty strings ("").

Patch (apply with `patch -p0'):
