java.io.BufferedReader.read(null,int off,int len) does not throw NPE when len==0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: HARMONY-54
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-54
     Project: Harmony
        Type: Bug
  Components: Classlib  
    Reporter: Vladimir Ivanov


In java.io package description j2se 1.4.2 specification says, that unless 
otherwise noted, passing a null argument to a constructor or method in any 
class or interface in this package will cause a NullPointerException to be 
thrown. 
But java.io.BufferedReader.read(null,int off,int len) does not throw NPE when 
len==0

Code to reproduce:
import java.io.*; 
  
public class test29 { 
    public static void main(String[] args)  {
        char []ch = {}; 
        char [] s = null; 
        BufferedReader toRet = new BufferedReader(new CharArrayReader(ch)); 
        try { 
                System.out.println("read(s, 1, 0)=  " + toRet.read(s, 1, 0)); 
        } catch (Exception t) { 
                System.out.println("Exception: " + t); 
        } 
        try { 
                System.out.println("read(s, 1, 1)=  " + toRet.read(s, 1, 1)); 
        } catch (Exception t) { 
                System.out.println("Exception: " + t); 
        } 
   } 
}  

Steps to Reproduce: 
1. Build Harmony (check-out on 2006-01-30) j2se subset as described in 
README.txt. 
2. Compile test29.java using BEA 1.4 javac 
> javac -d . test29.java 
3. Run java using compatible VM (J9) 
> java -showversion test29


Output:

                fail("Unexpected exception: " + e);
