The error message is wrong if the

        if (substring)
            primary->ts.cl = NULL;

part is removed:

i...@linux-fd1f:~/Krempel/Char> cat aa.f90
  character (len=4), pointer:: s1
  character (len=20), pointer :: p1
  s1 = 'abcd'
  p1 => s1(2:3)
end
i...@linux-fd1f:~/Krempel/Char> gfortran aa.f90
aa.f90:4.2:

  p1 => s1(2:3)
  1
Fehler: Unequal character lengths (20/4) in pointer assignment at (1)

The length of the substring is wrongly taken to be 4, instead of 2.
