The JCK-merlin test
api/java_lang/StringBuffer/index.html#append[StringBuffer0023]
fails since jdk-merlin-b54 in sameJVM mode.

To reproduce this bug the following short example can be used:
=============================================================
public class A {

    public static void main(String argv[]) {
        System.out.println(new A().StringBuffer0023());
    }

    public String StringBuffer0023() {
        int failed = 0;
        StringBuffer sb;
        char str[] = {'a', 'b', 'c', 'd'};
        for(int q = 0; q < 2; q++) {
            for (int i = -10; i < str.length + 10; i++) {
                for (int j = -10; j < str.length + 10; j++) {
                    sb = new StringBuffer("this is a test string");
                    if (i < 0 || j < 0 || (i + j) > str.length) {
                        try {
                            sb.append(str, i, j);
                            failed ++;
                            System.out.println("IndexOutOfBoundsException not
thrown with "
                                    + i + " and " + j + " String:" + sb);
                        } catch(IndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        if (failed > 0) {
            return "FAILED";
        } else {
            return "OKAY";
        }
    }
}

Note, that removing loop with index variable q results in test is passed.
