Setup: ikvm 0.24.0.1 (as JVM), Java 1.4.2_10

Of the three constructors for InputStreamReader that allow the app to set
the Charset, the one where the Charset is passed directly does not give a Reader that can read the data.

Charset cs = Charset.forName("utf-8");
new InputStreamReader(ins, cs.newDecoder()); // Works
new InputStreamReader(ins, "utf-8");         // Works
new InputStreamReader(ins, cs);              // Does not work

The test program should print 104 each time but does not do so in the third case.  Workaround: use the constructor with cs.newDecoder().

Couldn't find a bug like this in bugzilla - apologies if it is a duplicate.

Test program:
public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        System.out.println("<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<");
        try {
            Charset cs = Charset.forName("utf-8");
            {
                ByteArrayInputStream ins = new ByteArrayInputStream("hello world".getBytes()) ;
                Reader r = new InputStreamReader(ins, cs.newDecoder());
                System.out.println("With decoder: .read()         => "+r.read()) ;
            }
            System.out.println("---------------");
            // ----
            {
                ByteArrayInputStream ins = new ByteArrayInputStream("hello world".getBytes()) ;
                Reader r = new InputStreamReader(ins, "utf-8");
                System.out.println("With charset name: .read()    => "+r.read()) ;
            }
            System.out.println("---------------");
            // ----
            {
                ByteArrayInputStream ins = new ByteArrayInputStream("hello world".getBytes()) ;
                Reader r = new InputStreamReader(ins, cs);
                System.out.println("With charset object: .read()  => "+r.read()) ;
            }
        } catch (Exception ex)
        {
            System.err.println("IO exception: "+ex.getMessage()) ;
        }
        System.out.println(">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>");
    }
