java.lang.String.indexOf(String,int) in jdk1.4 has wrong javadoc comments.

Here is the part of the java doc for this method:

...
There is no restriction on the value of fromIndex. If it is negative, it has the
same effect as if it were zero: this entire string may be searched. If it is
                                                                    ^^^^^^^^
greater than the length of this string, it has the same effect as if it were
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
equal to the length of this string: -1 is returned.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
...

But if fromIndex is greater than the length of this string, it should return
length of the string(due to the fix of 4276204).

-------------example-------------------

public class TestString {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        int x1 = "abc".indexOf("",10);
        System.out.println(x1);
    }
}

----output result in jdk1.4---
