[fxcoudert at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The following error should not happen:

$ cat substr_3.f 
      implicit none
      character(len=10) :: s, t
      integer :: i, j

      s = "abcdefghij"
      t(:10) = s(1:)
      s(16:15) = "foo"
      if (s /= t) call abort
      end
$ gfortran substr_3.f
 In file substr_3.f:9

      s(16:15) = "foo"                                                  
       1
Error: Substring end index at (1) is out of bounds
