Search'n'replace intermittent error

Search'n'replace intermittent error

[Sergey Organov]

Hello,

Sometimes, when I run query-replace (M-%) in a buffer, I get an error
that, after turning debug-on-error to 't, looks like this:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (args-out-of-range #<buffer Makefile<linux-driver>> 0 1)                        
  buffer-substring-no-properties(0 1)                                                                         
  perform-replace("br_rev" "BR_REV" t nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil)                                        
  query-replace("br_rev" "BR_REV" nil nil nil nil nil)                                                        
  funcall-interactively(query-replace "br_rev" "BR_REV" nil nil nil nil nil)                                  
  call-interactively(query-replace nil nil)                                                                   
  command-execute(query-replace)                                                                              

Does this ring a bell? I've tried to look at the code, but it's rather
convoluted and I can't easily figure how to fix it.

In GNU Emacs 26.3 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.14)

System Description:     Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS

I think this is bug#36328 which has been fixed in at least 27.1.
