I found this earlier and wrote to the author. Perhaps I should have sent a 
patch.

I was picking up ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exceptions from that class. I hope it is 
this error.

Also, I noticed that a file I was reading had a "copyright" character in it (I 
think the code was 251), this also triggered an exception. I assume this is the 
same error.
