[Patch, fortran] PR58618 - Wrong code with character substring and ASSOCIATE

[Paul Richard Thomas]

I do not think that there will be a PR for the ICE. This is a
regression introduced by my patch for PR70149 (September 30th). A
patch is attached. I will commit it as 'obvious' as soon as it has
finished regtesting. I will also commit the patch for PR58618 shortly
afterwards. Thanks for the review.
