JDK-8155259 notes that in `BaseFileManager` this code:
ByteBuffer.allocate(capacity + capacity>>1)
is actually equivalent (assuming no overflow) to:
ByteBuffer.allocate(capacity)
because in Java the `+` operator has higher precedence than the `>>` operator.
In the bug it is suggested that this be changed to reflect the presumed original intent to over-allocate by 50%, i.e.:
ByteBuffer.allocate(capacity + (capacity>>1))
however, this patch is more conservative in that it leaves the existing behavior alone and instead just simplifies it to:
ByteBuffer.allocate(capacity)
allowing us to at least resolve JDK-8155259.
