It's not that it does not remove a suffix, but that it removes a suffix you
didn't ask for!

You called delete. By *definition*, this shortens the string.
> StemmerUtil.deleteN may delete too many characters

> StemmerUtil.deleteN calls to delete(), but in some cases, it may delete too
> many characters. E.g. if you execute this code:
> {code}
> char[] buf = "abcd".toCharArray();
> int len = StemmerUtil.deleteN(buf, buf.length, buf.length, 3);
> System.out.println(new String(buf, 0, len));
> {code}
> You get "a", even though no character should have been deleted (not according
> to the javadocs nor common logic).
> The problem is in delete(), which always returns {{len-1}}, even if no
> character is actually deleted.
> I'll post a patch that fixes it shortly.
