I have found a CSV parsing issue with FasterCSV (1.5.0) which seems like a genuine bug, but which I'm hoping there's a workaround for.

I have a badly behaving process (launched via a user command) which keeps dying at erratic intervals, and I need it to stay alive till I manually kill it. Here is my straight, but probably stupid solution:

I want to change the value of a particular string index, but unfortunately
string[4] = "a"
