BufferOverflowException when generating Javadoc?

Question

Hi,

Has anybody ever had problems with the javadoc tool causing a java.nio.BufferOverflowException?

I'm trying to generate Javadoc for code with Japanese comments (charset MS932). I think that might be related. Does anybody know of a workaround for this problem?

Here's the stacktrace:

My guess is character encoding is not set up right.
