Description

This was done with 1.3.0-dev source

The FromNetAscIIInputStream.java constructor

has a string version of the line separator seq ("\r\n")

and also a byte array version created with :
_lineSeparatorBytes = _lineSeparator.getBytes();
On an ebcdic platform this will result in garbage in the _lineseparatorBytes
and subsequent calls to readLine will timeout because that garbage sequence
will never be in the "control" inputStream (ASCII by definition)

I bypassed this by adding encoding of ISO-8859-1 to the initialization of
_lineSeparatorBytes..
and removing the "final" from the initial declaration

I also swallowed the (almost not possible) UnsupportedEncodingException.

There is probably a better way to do this as an "official" fix.
Thanks in advance
