The above class is not a descendent of InputStream. In any case, as InputStream and all its “direct known subclasses” specify that skip() returns “the actual number of bytes skipped” the foregoing behavior would I think be a bug. > Not sure there's anything that could be done in such cases, except > encouraging such subclasses to provide their own implementation > of skipNBytes? That’s probably true. Thanks, Brian
