Reading entities with fairly large data (> 20 MByte) results in variable overflow which eventually leads to XMLStreamException.

My XML files can contain base64 encoded binary data, stored as text node in tags, which can be fairly large ( > 20 MByte... hum... sorry !). Such XML files cannot be read by StAX due to variable overflow in MXParser.java:

in fillBuf function, bufSoftLimit overflows when buf.length > 21MByte in:

bufSoftLimit = ( bufLoadFactor * buf.length ) /100;

Should rather be:

bufSoftLimit = (int) ((((double) bufLoadFactor) / 100) * buf.length);

Or, better, bufLoadFactor should be declared as:

protected double bufLoadFactor = 0.95; // instead of protected int bufLoadFactor = 95;

and the above formula should be:

bufSoftLimit = bufLoadFactor * buf.length;

However, since bufLoadFactor is declared as protected, I am not sure that changing the type won't break compatibility...
