Currently, as of the latest SVN commit, substring()'s last argument has a default value of 1000000L.

The problem: 1000000 is not the widest string (in number of characters, an important distinction) that R supports

See https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2021-June/080841.html and the following thread.

Explore and discuss what a better default value for it might be.
