- The documentation of the method read-methods of 
  java.io.InputStream dos not explain what happens,
  if a thread is blocked in read and another thread
  send interrupt() to the blocked thread.

- Unter Linux/JDK 1.1.6 and Win95/1.2 read ends with
  -1 as result. Bad: The -1 stands for EOF. But an
  interrupt isn't EOF!!!!

- Unter Solaris/JDK1.2.1 the read is interrupted with
  an IOException with message "Interrupted systen call".
  Bad: A interrupt isn't a I/O-Error!!!

I thing this is the correct solution: InterruptedException
should extend RuntimeExeption, so read can throw these
Exception. interrupt to an blocked read should throw
InterruptedException.

At least you should define a uniq behaviour in the 
documentation.

Write once, run everwhere....
