The methods java.text.BreakIterator.isBoundary(int offset) does not throw
IllegalArgumentException in case of offset == 0 when begin index of text for
scanning is greater than 0. But it does it if offset == 1.

Here is the test demonstrating the bug:

--------- Test.java ----------
import java.text.*;

import java.text.*;

public class Test {
    public static void main (String args[]){
        boolean passed = true;
        BreakIterator iter = BreakIterator.getWordInstance();
        String str = "...Hello, World!...";
        int begin = 3;
        int end = str.length() - 3;
        iter.setText(new StringCharacterIterator(str, begin, end, begin));
        System.out.println("string for canning: \"" + str + "\"");
        System.out.println("begin: " + begin);
        System.out.println("end: " + end);
        System.out.println();
        for (int index = -1; index <= begin + 1; index ++) {
          try {
              boolean returned = iter.isBoundary(index); // call method under test
              System.out.print(" isBoundary(" + index + "): " + returned);
              if (index < begin) {
                passed = false;
                System.out.print(" (should throw IllegalArgumentException)");
              }
          } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
              System.out.print(" isBoundary(" + index + "): IllegalArgumentException");
              if (index == begin) {
                passed = false;
                System.out.print(" (should return true)");
              }
          }
          System.out.println();
        }
        System.out.println();
        if (passed) {
          System.out.println("Test passed");
        } else {
          System.out.println("Test failed");
        }
    }
}
---------Output from the test---------------------
string for canning: "...Hello, World!..."
begin: 3
end: 16

  isBoundary(-1): IllegalArgumentException
  isBoundary(0): true (should throw IllegalArgumentException)
  isBoundary(1): IllegalArgumentException
  isBoundary(2): IllegalArgumentException
  isBoundary(3): IllegalArgumentException (should return true)
  isBoundary(4): false

Test failed
