Get orig XML from VTD+XML byte array

[Mark Stuppy]

I am trying to get the original XML out of a VTD+XML bytearray but I'm getting the wrong data.  The output of dumpXML() has what appears to be data from the index tacked on to the front.  Here's the example code:

    //Build VTD+XML index
    VTDGen gen = new VTDGen();
    gen.setDoc(xml.getBytes());
    gen.parse(false);
    VTDNav nav = gen.getNav();
    ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    nav.writeIndex(os);

    //Get original XML
    ByteArrayOutputStream osOrig = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    nav.dumpXML(osOrig);
   
    //Load VTD+XML into new Gen
    VTDGen gen2 = new VTDGen();
    VTDNav nav2 = gen2.loadIndex(os.toByteArray());

    //Attempt to get original XML
    ByteArrayOutputStream os2 = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    nav2.dumpXML(os2);

At this point osOrig and os2 should contain the same content, right?  However osOrig is correct, but os2 has characters tacked on to the front.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
