A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
At various large byte array sizes sun.misc.Base64Encoder.encode(byte[]) throws CharacterEncoder::encodeBuffer internal error. This does not appear to be memory related as certain array sizes work that are larger than others.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
see source code

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
for each iteration I would expect to see the bytearray size and passed
ACTUAL -
