Yes, that's better. It works for current kaffe, gij
3.1 and jdk 1.4.0. It's only needed temporarily
anyway, and gets replaced in the test by the
ByteArrayOutputStream.

the spec is silent on it (up to JDK 1.4.0 at least).
The Java Class Libraries Book 2nd Ed Vol 1 by Chen et
al says the constructor requires a non-null output
stream.

mauve. So write access would be nice, but not really
necessary.
