Description

Using the canonical Solr example (ant run-example) I added this document (using exampledocs/post.sh):

<add><doc>
<field name="id">Test for Highlighting StringIndexOutOfBoundsExcdption</field>
<field name="name">Some Name</field>
<field name="manu">Acme, Inc.</field>
<field name="features">Description of the features, mentioning various things</field>
<field name="features">Features also is multivalued</field>
<field name="popularity">6</field>
<field name="inStock">true</field>
</doc></add>

and then the URL http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?q=features&hl=true&hl.fl=features caused the exception.

I have a patch. I don't know if it is completely correct, but it avoids this exception.
