FULL PRODUCT VERSION :

FULL OS VERSION :
Not related to a specific OS
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The documentation of readLong() of RandomAccessFile as appears in http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/RandomAccessFile.html#readLong() is incorrect.
Specifically, if the bytes read are 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, CA (-54), the result, according to the documentation would be -54 and not 202.
Note:
1. The method readLong() works correctly - the result is 202.
2. The documentation in DataInput.readLong() is different and involves OR operations between the bytes - as it should be.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
