EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Standard linux install

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
My read of the JavaDoc says that a BlockingQueue only throws an InterruptedException if the thread is waiting:

 " InterruptedException - if interrupted while waiting " yet it seems like it always throws an interrupt even if it is not waiting (i.e. the queue is not empty).






STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :

public static void main(final String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
BlockingQueue<Integer> bg = new LinkedBlockingQueue<Integer>(2);

bg.add(1);
Thread.currentThread().interrupt();

System.out.println(bg.take()); //Should work
System.out.println( " YAY " );
System.out.println(bg.take()); //Should fail


}

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Should see YAY
ACTUAL -
InterruptedException

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
