Okay, I don't know how the buffer handling is done and what you are
doing internally that's why I said I don't know whether it is easy to
fix :) As said, I am not an Java expert.

Does this mean that the issue will not happen as often as before, but
it may happen with a small probability?

I think I will wait for the 4.0.3 release b/c with my current
knowledge and skills I'd probably screw up things.

A suggestion: It would help IMHO if the raised exceptions are printed
out to stderr rather than simply skipped.


However, thanks for your help, Niall. Also (since I haven't said it
explicitly) thanks for this very nice and easy to use library! :-)
