Subject: Test failure with negative substring offsets

This is now failing:

Test ./D04parameter.ztst failed: error output differs from expected as shown above for:

I'll wait for it to stop failing. I'm guessing this is to do with
29224.
I think possibly the error could be clearer. It's not really clear what 3
being less than 5 has got to do with the problem, i.e. that counting
6 back from the end puts you before the start offset.
