      java version "1.1.8"


      The documentation for java.lang.System.arraycopy() is inconsistent. Still in
      1.2.2 and 1.3beta

      The same pair of parameters are referred to as "src_position" and
      "dst_position" in the method signature; as "srcOffset" and "dstOffset" in the
      text; and as "srcpos" and "destpos" in the @param lines. Since "position" and
      "offset" are not necessarily analogous terms, it takes a little longer than with
      the usual typo to be sure that they refer to the same thing.
