Hi Alan,

(Sorry for late reply that it seems my mail-box has some trouble that I 
cannot send my mail yesterday). I agreed with you that the document may 
be changed. However as you see another problem is that the write method 
is unstable, it may or may not throw the exception, only depends on its 
buffer size, I think we'd better at least fix this unpredictable behaviour?
