             Summary: TreeListIterator can return incorrect results after 
remove() is called
                 Key: COLLECTIONS-447
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-447
             Project: Commons Collections
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Collection
    Affects Versions: Nightly Builds
         Environment: Windows 7, jdk1.5.0_22
            Reporter: Jeffrey Barnes


{{TreeList.TreeListIterator}} can get in a bad state when {{remove()}} is 
called, causing it to subsequently return incorrect results. This is because 
{{TreeListIterator}} caches an {{AVLNode}} reference in its field {{next}}, and 
this node reference may become stale when {{remove()}} is called (it may 
contain a reference to a node that no longer exists in the tree).

I will attach two patches: {{testcase.patch}} will contain a test case 
illustrating the bug, and {{fix.patch}} will contain a fix. (To fix the bug, I 
simply clear the cached {{next}} value in {{TreeListIterator.remove}}.)

This was originally reported in a comment to COLLECTIONS-433; I am creating a 
separate issue for this at Thomas Neidhart's suggestion.
