Bash-Release:   4.4
Patch-ID:       bash44-008

Bug-Reported-by:        Koichi MURASE <[email protected]>
Bug-Reference-ID:       <CAFLRLk-V+1AeQ2k=pY7ih6V+MfQ_w8EF3YWL2E+wmLfgKBtzXA@mail.gmail.com>
Bug-Reference-URL:      http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2016-11/msg00050.html

Bug-Description:

Under certain circumstances, bash will evaluate arithmetic expressions as
part of reading an expression token even when evaluation is suppressed. This
happens while evaluating a conditional expression and skipping over the
failed branch of the expression.

Patch (apply with `patch -p0'):
