HexDump's use of static StringBuffers isn't thread-safe
-------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: IO-136
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-136
             Project: Commons IO
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.3.2
            Reporter: Niall Pemberton
            Assignee: Niall Pemberton
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.4


HexDump has two private static dump() method's that alter static instances of 
StringBuffer:

dump(long) modifies static StringBuffer variable _lbuffer returning _lbuffer 
dump(char) modifies static StringBuffer variable _cbuffer returning _cbuffer

Both these methods are called by the public static dump(byte[], long, 
OutputStream, int) method. Multiple threads calling the public dump method at 
the same time could cause these StringBuffer to contain mixed up data and 
result in a bug.
