Bash Version: 4.3
Patch Level: 30
Release Status: release

Description:
	in the posix shell specification [1] when a script tries to to
overwrite a readonly variable it should crash the script.

Repeat-By:
        #!/bin/bash
        readonly rovar="goodvalue"
        rovar="badvalue"
	echo "You should not see this message"

Fix:
	the bash interpreter should exit when the readonly var is being asked
for an overwrite
