This is an interesting problem. The JNI spec is clear that we should
throw an exception when one of the indexes isn't valid, and start ==
size is arguably not valid, as Gregory points out.

So I think the JNI impl is right for now (but I want to test w/ the JNI
impl in RI....)

As for classlibrary :

I was testing with the RI vi java.io.OutputStream#write(buff[], offset,
len), and the RI is clearly broken as it doesn't throw an NPE when [] is
null.

However, strictly speaking, an IndexOOBE is thrown when :

a) offset is negative or
b) len is negative or
c) off + len > buff.length

So in the case of

   write( byte[count], count, 0);

for any value of count >= 0, then none of the conditions are true, and
it should simply [quickly] return.

Therefore, I'll start a new thread re refining OutputStream to match
those rules, and then go on to test the JNI impl of the RI.
