Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 dev with bash 4.3-4ubuntu1 and if bash is started
with the -u parameter any check of unbound variables will raise an
unbound exception. Here is a testcase:

#!/bin/bash -u

if [ -z $SOME_UNINITIALIZED_VARIABLE ]
then
        echo Variable uninitialized
fi


Executing this script will result in this output: "./test.sh: line 3: 
SOME_UNINITIALIZED_VARIABLE: unbound variable"

** Affects: bash (Ubuntu)
