        The specification of CharBuffer [1] states:

        "The methods defined by CharSequence operate relative to the current position of the buffer when they are invoked."

        The method CharBuffer.getChars [2] is however specified to be an

        "Absolute bulk get method. "

        and interprets the source index parameters to be absolute. The implementation is consistent with this.

        To adhere to the previously existing specification, the getChars method should be specified to be a

        "Relative bulk get method. "

        and the implementation modified accordingly.
