Various BF animals are complaining

varlena.c: In function 'text_substring':
varlena.c:590:9: warning: 'E' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
  int32  E;    /* end position, exclusive */
         ^

and I've also seen that locally depending on which gcc version and -O
level I'm using.  Could we silence that?
