[Bug fortran/35723] New: Can't use run-time array element in character declaration

[dick dot hendrickson at gmail dot com]

The following program gives an error message for valid use of
an array element in an expression for an automatic character
array.  

The error message is repeated twice.

Changing from a run-time subscript in the parameter array to a
constant fixes the problem.
