    Attachment: LUCENE-1566.patch

I was able to reproduce the bug on my machine using several JVMs. The attached patch is what I got ready by now - I though I get it out there as soon as possible for discussion.
Test pass on my side!

> This is not a Lucene issue, but I want to open this so future google
> diggers can more easily find it.
> There's this nasty bug in Sun's JRE:
>   http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6478546
> The gist seems to be, if you try to read a large (eg 200 MB) number of
> bytes during a single RandomAccessFile.read call, you can incorrectly
> hit OOM.  Lucene does this, with norms, since we read in one byte per
> doc per field with norms, as a contiguous array of length maxDoc().
> The workaround was a custom patch to do large file reads as several
> smaller reads.
