Question about PipedInputStream available method

Question about PipedInputStream available method

[Patrick Ellis]

     
In the gnu/testlet/java/io/PipedStream/Test.java code, there is a call to method available() which Returns the number of bytes that can be read from this input stream without blocking. The first call to the method returns zero which causes the test to fail. Should the code be change to 
harness.check(pis.available() >= 0, "available()");



 // Now set up our reader
      PipedInputStream pis = new PipedInputStream();
      pis.connect(pos);
      new Thread(pstw).start();
           harness.check(pis.available() > 0, "available()");

        * gnu/testlet/java/io/PipedStream/PipedStreamTestWriter.java
        (ready): New field.
        (waitTillReady): New method.
        (run): Set ready field.
        * gnu/testlet/java/io/PipedStream/Test.java (test): Call waitTillReady
        before testing available().
