--- Comment #1 from Dominique d'Humieres <dominiq at lps dot ens.fr> ---
Confirmed from 4.9 up to trunk (7.0). Note LEN(S%C(1)) returns 3, so apparently
the elements of S%C have their length set, but not S%C itself.

>  Why does the pointer assignment fail

The length of S%C is zero and not 3 as expected by the assignment. The fact
that the code executes without bounds check does not mean that the executable
is correct.
