[Bug classpath/22660] String.getBytes("UTF8") broken for non-zero offset strings

[gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org]

[this bug originally filed against SableVM 1.0.5]

There is a bug in the class
gnu/java/io/encode/Encoder.java.
If a String has a non-zero offset into its char[] array
then
things get screwey.

The attached file UTF8.java demonstrates the bug.
It generates this output:

$ sablevm UTF8
bytes.length=20
bytes: 61 62 63 64 31 32 33 34 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Other possibilities include the first byte being zero (!).

Oops, previous patch is incomplete, I've attached
a new one.

Thanks for catching this. I installed the patch for UTF8Encoder and made a
Mauve test for it. Note that SableVM uses an older version of GNU Classpath.
The first part of your patch (for Encoder) was already fixed last year in CVS.
