    Description

      BZip2CompressorInputStream.read(buffer, offset, length) returns -1 when given an offset equal to the length of the buffer.

      This indicates, not that the buffer was full, but that the stream was finished.

      It seems like a pretty stupid thing to do - but I'm getting this when trying to use Kryo serialization (which is probably a bug on their part, too), so it does occur and has negative affects.

      Here's a JUnit test that shows the problem specifically:

      	@Test
      	public void testApacheCommonsBZipUncompression () throws Exception {
      		// Create a big random piece of data
      		byte[] rawData = new byte[1048576];
      		for (int i=0; i<rawData.length; ++i) {
      			rawData[i] = (byte) Math.floor(Math.random()*256);
      		}
      
      		// Compress it
      		ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
      		BZip2CompressorOutputStream bzipOut = new BZip2CompressorOutputStream(baos);
      		bzipOut.write(rawData);
      		bzipOut.flush();
      		bzipOut.close();
      		baos.flush();
      		baos.close();
      
      		// Try to read it back in
      		ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(baos.toByteArray());
      		BZip2CompressorInputStream bzipIn = new BZip2CompressorInputStream(bais);
      		byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
      		// Works fine
      		Assert.assertEquals(1024, bzipIn.read(buffer, 0, 1024));
      		// Fails, returns -1 (indicating the stream is complete rather than that the buffer 
      		// was full)
      		Assert.assertEquals(0, bzipIn.read(buffer, 1024, 0));
      		// But if you change the above expected value to -1, the following line still works
      		Assert.assertEquals(1024, bzipIn.read(buffer, 0, 1024));
      		bzipIn.close();
      	}
