The javadoc of the method read(byte b[], int off, int len) declares:
     * If the first argument is <code>null</code>,
     * up to <code>len</code> bytes are read and discarded.

but the implementation does:
    } else if (b == null) {
        throw new NullPointerException();

By checking the class implementation, I belive that what the javadoc declares is not implemented.
