I tested my own patch to DIRMINA-165 and I admit that it is very very bad,
please don't use it.
I'm not sure of the why of the bad-working of those classes, but I'm sure
that they simply don't work.
For the reason please wait for the answer of someone else.

Subject: [mina] DIRMINA-165 revisited
Hi,
I've been looking at the code submitted for this bug (to allow the
creating of read-only buffers and buffer slices) and reading the
comments, and I'm not sure I understand why the submitted patch is
considered "dangerous". Trustin advises that all the methods assert that
every buffer involved is not pooled, but I'm not sure why this should
be - presumably, assuming that any derived buffers maintain a reference
to their parent buffer, the parent buffer won't be returned to the pool
until all derived buffers have been released, and therefore released it
in turn. Am I missing something here ?
