A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
String Constructor public String(byte[] bytes) produces a BufferOverflowEception in nio package when passing a large array of a certain size

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Create a new String object passing an byte array of size 28664105.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The bug is reproducible for array sizes incremented by 4 (e.g. 28664105, 28664109, 28664113,...) It works fine for values between (e.g. 28664106, 28664107, 28664108).
ACTUAL -
The constructor throws a BufferoverflowException
