 Thanks for the bug report.
 Your suggested fix seems obviously correct and I verified that making
 sure that avail is always decremented makes String.getBytes("UTF-8")
 work (read not throw an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException).
 
 But while creating a test case I noticed that for your example we return
 two bytes: {0xf0, 0x90} but other implementations return four bytes
 {0xf0, 0x90, 0x8c, 0x80}. I don't know enough of Unicode and UTF-8
 encoding to know what is correct or why.
 
 If someone has a quick reference to the relevant definitions and/or a
 testsuite for these kind of things that would be higly appreciated.
