Description
SHORT SUMMARY:Jar tools fails to generate manifest file correctly when 
boundary condition hit in Manifest.FastInputStream class
INDICATORS: jar tool fails to add attributes to Manifest file
COUNTER INDICATORS:
TRIGGERS: A manifest file is supplied of unique size so that a 
Manifest.FastInputStream.fill() call is made just before EOF of Manifest file 
is reached.
KNOWN WORKAROUND: Add an extra empty line to Manifest file supplied to jar 
command
PRESENT SINCE: FCS 
HOW TO VERIFY: See bug DB descrition
NOTES FOR SE:
REGRESSION: No.
Comments
EVALUATION when EOF is encountered (and fill() read call returns -1), we should invalidate the buffer (buf) so that any peek calls doesn't read back data in the buffer from the previous fill() call.
