> I managed to see that the instance fields of the FastStringBuffer instance 
> are  set to random values (negative in particular), and so the exception 
> occurs.
> I think that the problem is due to incorrect coding.
> In fact the code is equivalent to the following
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>    synchronized (...)
>    { 
>       //acquire an fsb instance from static pool
>    } 
>  
>    //write to fsb instance fields
>  
>    synchronized (...)
>    { 
>       //release the fsb instance into the static pool
>    } 
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>  
> When the first synchronized block ends the local thread cache is flushed
> to main memory. When the second synchronized block begins the local thread 
> cache
> is refreshed from main memory, but in this way all intervening writes may be 
> lost.
> I propose the StringBufferPool to have the lifetime of a transformation and 
> to belong to a single thread. I suggest further long running optimizations to 
> be left to the underlying plaftorm.
