CollationElementIterator.setOffset(int offset) is broken in Kestrel "I".
It no longer throws IllegalArgumentException if offset == -1 and throws
if offset equals to the length of source.

Javadoc says nothing about this case but old behavior looks more correct.

Here is a minimized test:

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

public class Test {
    public static void main (String args[]){
        String rule = "< c, C < d; D";
        RuleBasedCollator rbc = null;

        try {
            rbc = new RuleBasedCollator(rule); // create an object
            CollationElementIterator iterator =
                    rbc.getCollationElementIterator(""); // get iterator
 
            String source = "Hello";
            iterator.setText(source);

            int offset = -1;
            System.out.println("setOffset(" + offset + ")");
            try {
                iterator.setOffset(offset);
                System.out.println("getOffset(): " + iterator.getOffset());
            } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
                System.out.println("IllegalArgumentException: " + e);
            }

            System.out.println("--------------------------------");
            offset = source.length();
            System.out.println("setOffset(" + offset + ")");
            try {
                iterator.setOffset(offset);
                System.out.println("getOffset(): " + iterator.getOffset());
            } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
                System.out.println("IllegalArgumentException: " + e);
            }

        } catch (ParseException e) {
            System.out.println("Unexpected ParseException: " + e);
        }
    }
  
}

--------- sample run (JDK1.2.2, correct: both list are the same) -----------
setOffset(-1)
IllegalArgumentException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid index
--------------------------------
setOffset(5)
getOffset(): 5

--------- sample run (JDK1.3 I, WRONG: the second list is bogus) -----------
setOffset(-1)
getOffset: 0
--------------------------------
setOffset(5)
IllegalArgumentException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid index
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
