The fix looks good, but i would like to suggest some changes to the test.

We can use TestNG to avoid pulling in a bunch of infrastructure methods. 

The test cases can be produced by a data provider and we can do a cross product 
with char sets and character input (for example i have managed to induced stack 
overflows by just passing sequences of high surrogates).

Using the data provider allows the test infrastrcture to report/crunch those 
tests individually rather than being reported via System.out.

I can send a patch to the test if that helps.

Paul.
