    I think it depends on what we think `synchronized` is supposed to protect 
against.
    
    As it stands the `synchronized` block also protected concurrent reads from 
the same `BoundedInputStream` from overwriting their results (protecting `loc` 
and `buffer` not just the file position).
    
    If we want to keep that level of protection the changes are not going to 
work. If we say each input stream returned by `getInputStream` can only be used 
by a single thread, then I think it is fine to keep the increment outside of 
the block and only synchronise the code that protects the interaction between 
different streams.
