regardless of it, I really do not understand the call to initTermBuffer() in
termLength()? What is it good for?
this method will return the same value in both cases, zero, I see no harm in
removing it?
/** Return number of valid characters (length of the term)
* in the termBuffer array. */
public int termLength() {
initTermBuffer();
return termLength;
}
