Specification of the class javax.imageio.stream.FileImageOutputStream says:

"public void seek(long pos) throws IOException
...
Resets the stream pointer to the desired location. The next read will occur at
this location. The bit offset is set to 0.

An IndexOutOfBoundsException will be thrown if pos is smaller than
the flushed position (as returned by getflushedPosition).

...
Parameters: pos - a long containing the desired file pointer position.
Throws:
        IndexOutOfBoundsException - if pos is smaller than the flushed
        position.
        IOException - if any other I/O error occurs."


Specification of the method javax.imageio.stream.FileImageInputStream says:
"public void seek(long pos) throws IOException
...
Sets the current stream position and resets the bit offset to 0.
...
Throws:
        IndexOutOfBoundsException - if pos is smaller than the flushed
        position.
        IOException - if any other I/O error occurs."

Under Windows95 this method throws IOExeption when the value of
the parameter pos is very large.

Under Solaris and WindowsNT this method does not throw IOException.

To reproduce this bug run the following test.
"tmp" is file from current directory.
---------------------test.java--------------
import java.io.*;
import javax.imageio.stream.*;

public class test {
    public static void main(String[] argv) {
        System.out.println("FileImageInputStream");
        try {
            RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile("tmp","rw");
            FileImageInputStream fiis = new FileImageInputStream(raf);
            fiis.seek(Long.MAX_VALUE);
            System.out.println("file position: "+ fiis.getStreamPosition());
            fiis.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
        System.out.println("");
        System.out.println("FileImageOutputStream");
        try {
            RandomAccessFile raf1 = new RandomAccessFile("tmp","rw");
            FileImageOutputStream fios = new FileImageOutputStream(raf1);
            fios.seek(Long.MAX_VALUE);
            System.out.println("file position: "+ fios.getStreamPosition());
            fios.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
        
    }
