Bash Version: 5.2

Description:
I want to read an associative array. Like so: y="${aa[$i]}"
If aa contains the element queried, then everything works as expected
If aa does not contain such an element, the result is the empty string,
which is expected, but the query permanently increases the memory consumption
of the executing bash, which is not expected. The program below demonstrates
this behaviour. When run, the bash process increases its memory indefinitely.
I did not find a fix.
Thanks for the report. Koichi's fix is a good one.
