Array bound checking: "lower bound of dimension 1 exceeded (1 < 7189)"

[Toon Moene]

A Spanish colleague of mine was completely baffled by this error message:

"Shouldn't the lower bound of an array always be exceeded ?"

I can not come up with something better, but using the same verb for 
"index below lower bound" as for "index above upper bound" is probably 
confusing for most casual Fortran programmers.

Anyone who can think up an alternative ?

Thanks in advance,
