[Bug 1751011] [NEW] bash crashes in qemu-user environments (bionic)

[Peter Ogden]

Public bug reported:

Attempts to launch bash in an arm64 qemu-user environment in bionic
results in the following error message:

bash: xmalloc: .././shell.c:1709: cannot allocate 10 bytes (0 bytes
allocated)

This causes any qemu/chroot based bootstrapping to fail as many packages
invoke bash during postinst.

Version: bash_4.4.18-1ubuntu1_arm64
Release: 18.04 pre-release

QEMU: 2.8.0

This appears to have been reported and fixed in the corresponding Debian
package (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=889869)

** Affects: bash (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
