that remains unaddressed :-(
Perhaps as part of this change or set of changes, that bug could be dealt
with?
Perhaps even by deleting JVM_Read?
I believe there is effort under way in the Common VM Interface project
[1] to javadoc the interface between the VM and libraries. I don't think
this needs to be part of Dan's work as his change is just eliminating
the usage of these functions in the java.io code (we need to do the same
eventually in the java.net code).
