You might want to be suspicious of RandomAccessFile anyway.  It's a 1.0 
class and seems to have some weird corners.  For example, readLine() is 
basically this:

   StringBuffer input = new StringBuffer();
// loop until done:
   int c;
   c = read();
   input.append((char)c);

That isn't going to work for anything that's not plain old ASCII.  I can 
see why BufferedReader, which uses a CharsetDecoder, is preferred.
