--------------------------------------------
Tests passed cleanly on derby-7143-01-aa-fixLengthMiscalculation.diff with both
the classpath and the modulepath.
> HarmonySerialBlob.getBinaryStream(long, long) makes it impossible to retrieve
> the last character of the Blob.

> As far as I understand it, the method HarmonySerialBlob.getBinaryStream(long,
> long) takes two arguments <pos> and <length> and is supposed to produce a
> ByteArrayInputStream() with a substring of the Blob's Contents that starts at
> <pos> and has length <length>.
> Unfortunately, the error handling in this method makes it impossible to
> retrieve a suffix of the Blobs contents as the last character is always
> missing.
> In detail:
> When calling this method with <pos>=0, then it raises the SQLException XJ087.
> Hence, <pos> must always be > 0.
> When calling this method with <pos>=1 and <length>=blob.length(), then it
> also raises the SQLException, because pos+length > blob.length(). Hence,
> <length> can at most be set to blob.length()-1.
> When calling this method with <pos>=1 and <length>=blob.length()-1, then it
> gives a ByteArrayInputStream which is missing the last character from the
> blob.
> The fact that the last character is missing makes sense, when <length> is set
> to blob.length()-1.
> But it does not make sense to prohibit setting <length>=blob.length() when
> this is the only way to include the last character in the
> ByteArrayInputStream.
