How to reproduce:
====================
run the attached script:
1)FileReader_FRRead1.ksh

Test output:
=============
1) Starting Testcase Read1Test0007...
For byte array input values, checks if they are read properly. Length of byte array to read is 10000
Creating the temporary file...
Constructing FileReader( String ) with the default encoding
Constructor successful
The underlying stream has 10000 characters
Calling read(char[], int, int) with array size : 10000
Verifying return value, which was -1
Testcase failed. Actually read 5064 instead of the expected value 10000
Testcase Read1Test0007 done

Read1Test0007: Failed. Invalid number of characters were read.
STATUS:Failed.tests: 1; failed: 1; first test case failure: Read1Test0007

2) Starting Testcase Read3Test0007...
For character input values, checks if they are read properly. File length 10000.
Creating the temporary file...
Constructing FileReader( String ) with the default encoding.
Constructor successful
The underlying stream has 10000 characters
