Sample file

Put the sample file somewhere, adjust this test to point to the correct file
location and run.

    @Test
    public void testPictureExtractionProblem() throws Exception
    {
        File file = new File("C:\\Data\\Test\\NUIQ021202.doc");
        POIFSFileSystem poifs;
        InputStream stream = new FileInputStream(file);
        try
        {
            poifs = new POIFSFileSystem(stream);
        }
        finally
        {
            stream.close();
        }

        HWPFDocument doc = new HWPFDocument(poifs);

        // Throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
        doc.getPicturesTable().getAllPictures();
    }

Gives the following error:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 50206

There does appear to be a picture in the document but it's unknown to me
whether it's embedded directly or via an OLE2 container (what is known is that
there *is* one OLE2 container in the file.)
