SegmentTermPositions bug in method seek(TermInfo)

           Summary: SegmentTermPositions bug in method seek(TermInfo)
           Product: Lucene
           Version: 1.2rc5
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Search
        AssignedTo: lucene-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: cpp@vip.163.com


final void seek(TermInfo ti) throws IOException {
    super.seek(ti);
    if (ti != null)
      proxStream.seek(ti.proxPointer);
    else
      proxCount = 0;
  }

note that proxCount is cleared only when ti!=null
so the following code will fail:
(assume tp is an instance of SegmentTermPositions, ti1 and ti2 is TermInfo)
tp->seek(ti1);
tp->next();  // now proxCount>0
tp->seek(ti2);
tp->next();  // incorrectly skiped proxCount postings
tp->nextPosition();  // would yield incorrect result

and the following code will throw "read past eof"
tp->seek(null);
while(tp->next()) {}
