StringIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown from String.concat

[Andrey Turbanov]

Hello.
I noticed that String.concat can throw StringIndexOutOfBoundsException:

String r1 = "-".repeat(Integer.MAX_VALUE - 10);
String r2 = "ы".repeat((Integer.MAX_VALUE - 10)  / 2);
System.out.println(r1.concat(r2));

On JDK 24 it gives:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException:
Range [0, 0 + 2147483637) out of bounds for length 1073741807

On JDK 23 it results in expected OOM:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Overflow:
