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

Bash-Release: 3.0
Patch-ID: bash30-015

Bug-Reported-by: opengeometry@yahoo.ca
Bug-Reference-ID: <200410202012.i9KKCTEB001860@node1.opengeometry.net>
Bug-Reference-URL: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2004-10/msg00297.html

Bug-Description:

   Shell variable can start with number and can even be printed with
    'declare', as in
        1=aaa
        1a=bbb
        declare -p 1 1a

    But, they can't be removed, as in
        unset 1 1a              --> ...: not a valid identifier

    Bash-2.05b correctly gives me error, however.
