I think the patch is correct for both StringBuffer and StringBuilder.

It is specified that buffer must remain constant during execution of the stream 
terminal operation otherwise the results are undefined. Such an undefined 
result might be the throwing of an IndexOutOfBounds.

I did ponder that, and moving the stream returning methods into the concrete 
builder classes. I opted for the sneakier approach :-) what do you prefer?

Yes, i was being very conservative (I mistakenly thought the original code read 
the coder field twice).

If we go with the single wider bounds check i think we should place it in the a 
root spliterator constructor if possible.
