+Subject: [PATCH] ash: fix a regression in handling local variables
+
+commit 109ee5d33694a03cda3424b4846584250832ba8e
+"ash: make "locak VAR" unset VAR (bash does that)"
+
+This commit introduced a regression where calling local on an already
+local variable unsets it. This does not match bash behavior.
+
+Update test case to check for this behavior
