When try to add COPA-charecteristics (tcode: KEA5) getting DUMP

Question

Hi Experts,
When we try to add a new COPA-charecteristics with tcode KEA5 , we are getting below dump.
Runtime Errors         DATA_LENGTH_0
Exception              CX_SY_RANGE_OUT_OF_BOUNDS
Date and Time          01.11.2011 10:12:11
Short text:     Invalid partial field access: Length 0
What happened?
     Error in the ABAP Application Program
     The current ABAP program "SAPLKYER" had to be terminated because it has
     come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
What can you do?
     Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
     To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
     administrator.
     Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
     at and manage termination messages, and you can also
     keep them for a long time.
Error analysis
     An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
     The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_RANGE_OUT_OF_BOUNDS', was not
      caught in  procedure "SPLIT_COMPLEX" "(FORM)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.
     Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
     exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
     The reason for the exception is:
     In the executed program "SAPLKYER", the system attempted to access the field
     "LD_STRING" using the length 0.
     However, a partial field access with the length specification 0 is not allowed.
