Hi Simon,
I can file a bug on BufferInputStream with a bit more information about
how you are using it
or a failing test case. I was not able to reproduce it with a simple
read of 1Mb buffers.
Thanks, Roger

Oh, while on the topic of what I learned from this exercise, I also
believe I discovered a bug in BufferedInputStream (don't laugh!). It
fails catastrophically after reading 2GB (I think I can guess why
without even looking at the code :). Everything was reading properly
from an unadorned FileInputStream, but then I needed to look at the
byte sequence to work out what was happening with these broken parts,
and everything that was previously working went crazy when I stuck the
BIS on the front. I created a replacement so that I could actually
look at the failing bytes in a debugger. Hmm, the point of that
observation was to ask the off-topic question of one should report a
bug in a core API?
Thanks again,
Cheers,
Simon
