A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When trying to create a string containing all codePoints (in range Character.MIN_CODE_POINT, Character.MAX_CODE_POINT) an ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception is thrown from the String constructor.

Occurs with both java 1.5, and java 1.6.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile the sample code below: javac Test.java
Run the sample code: java Test
