That's very odd Eric. The str:substring tag is pretty much just a wrapper for String.substring itself [a little bit of null protecting is all that is added]. Could you try and replicate your problem using the underlying String library?
The underlying substring wrapper function I'm using does a negative check on the end and the start, then if the end value passed in is greater than the length it makes it equal to the length, then it calls String.substring. Do you do any byte->String conversion anywhere?
