We get coredump if the length part of ${name:offset:length} is seriously
broken; name and offset parts can be "normal". For example

"${foo:0:${\"}}"

gives coredump at line 3367 in subst.c:

3365:    check_offset = check_colon_subscript(check_offset2 + 1,
3366:                                         &check_offset2);
3367:    if (*check_offset2 && *check_offset2 != ':') {

When check_colon_subscript() returns NULL, check_offset2 is (not always
but usually) reset to NULL (line 1576).

With the patch below, "${foo:0:${\"}}" gives an error

unrecognized modifier `$'
