java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException on searching using Integer.MAX_VALUE for number of hits

[Paul Taylor]

Hi, just upgraded my code to Lucene 3.0 and on one simple search I get 
the following stacktrace when I pass Integer.MAX_VALUE to the 
Searcher.search(Query query,int n) method, if I change the value to 1000 
it works okay.

java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException

   at org.apache.lucene.search.Searcher.search(Searcher.java:98)
   at org.apache.lucene.search.Searcher.search(Searcher.java:108)

Now I know I should specify a max hits value, but I really want to 
return all matches , and regardless it shouldn't throw this exception, 
and in other search code which also has specifies Integer.MAX_VALUE the 
exception is not occurring.


thanks Paul
