That "> 0" is incorrect here; it's allowed to return 0 before EOF
I don't think the method is allowed to return 0 before EOF. To quote
from the method Javadoc.

Hi Philippe,
You are right about the readNBytes method itself. I was talking about
the read(byte[], int, int) method that is used internally by readNBytes.
That method may return 0 before EOF, and if it does then readNBytes
returns before it should.
