Work Description: DaGeRe opened a new pull request, #343:
URL: https://github.com/apache/commons-io/pull/343
If Strings with a certain size are written to a stream, this fails with an
exception on OpenJDK 11.
```
java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException: -1283060862
at java.base/java.lang.StringCoding.encodeUTF8(StringCoding.java:904)
at java.base/java.lang.StringCoding.encode(StringCoding.java:449)
at java.base/java.lang.String.getBytes(String.java:964)
at org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.write(IOUtils.java:3251)
at org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.writeStringToFile(FileUtils.java:3541)
at org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.writeStringToFile(FileUtils.java:3524)
```
This PR fixes the problem by using a `ByteBuffer` instead `getBytes`.
Unfortunately, this increases test time significantly. One workaround would
be to disable the test and only enable it if needed - but testing whether big
Strings can be written is not possible without handling such a big string.
