Backport #3633: String accessor [Fixnum, Fixnum] produces wrong result in 1.9.1

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: yugui (Yuki Sonoda)

=begin
Example irb session:

irb(main):001:0> ENCODING
=> #Encoding:UTF-8
irb(main):002:0> a = "x" * 42
=> "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
irb(main):003:0> a[a.length,a.length]
=> ""
irb(main):004:0> a = "ü" * 42
=> "üüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüü"
irb(main):005:0> a[a.length,a.length]
=> "\x00\x00\x00\x00A\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00" <------------- What is that?

It seems that only the [Fixnum, Fixnum] accessor is affected but I will test the others too.
