[Bug libgcj/36252] New: OutOfMemoryError on simple text conversion.

[daney at gcc dot gnu dot org]

libgcj 4.3.0 as well as 3.4.3 and probably everything inbetween will get OOM on
this simple program when run on glibc based systems:
---------->8------------------
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;

public class TextProb
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    try {
      byte[] txt = new byte[] { -55, 87, -55, -42, -55, -20 };
      String s = new String(txt, 0, 6, "MS932");
      System.out.println(s);
    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}
---------------->8------------------------

I am testing a patch
