Ralf Battenfeld commented on SHRINKDESC-153:
--------------------------------------------

I worked a little bit on this. I don't know really which concrete InputStream inplementation could potentially causing a problem.

The solution I found was to use the PushbackInputStream as concrete and deterministic implementation of an InputStream. So, the available() call will be executed on the internally created PushbackInputStream instead from the passed InputStream object.

> Some InputStream implementations return 0 in the available() method, however it is possible to read. This is described in the javadoc: 
> {quote}
> Returns an estimate of the number of bytes that can be read (or skipped over) from this input stream without blocking by the next invocation of a method for this input stream. The next invocation might 
>  be the same thread or another thread. A single read or skip of this many bytes will not block, but may read or skip fewer bytes. 
> Note that while some implementations of InputStream will return the total number of bytes in the stream, many will not. It is never correct to use the return value of this method to allocate a buffer 
>  intended to hold all data in this stream. 
> {quote}
> The problematic code lies in
