Cross posting to the more appropriate list even though Bugzilla recommends
the first.

Subject: bug submission failed
To: uclibc-admins at lists.busybox.net


I'm trying to submit a bug through bugzilla and the server keeps spinning
nowhere... the message at the top says:
"This Bugzilla instance has been updated. If you experience troubles,
please file a bug
<https://bugs.busybox.net/enter_bug.cgi?product=Infrastructure&component=Bugzilla>,
or notify uclibc-admins@ <uclibc-admins at lists.busybox.net> if that fails."

The bug I'm attempting to file is:
Product: Busybox
Component: Other
Version: 1.24.x
Summary: Bash Compatible sub string of variable when evaluating negative
value causes seg fault
Description:
When referencing a sub-string of a variable, using a negative value stored
in another variable, the shell will seg-fault.

Steps to reproduce:
/ # s=abcdefg
/ # n=2
/ # echo ${s:$n}
cdefg
/ # n=-2
/ # echo ${s:$n}
Segmentation fault

Expected behavior:
/ # s=abcdefg
/ # n=2
/ # echo ${s:$n}
cdefg
/ # n=-2
/ # echo ${s:$n}
fg
