[erlang-patches] fixed reading compressed binary terms from Java

Problem was that when reading from an InputStream, you can only specify a
maximum number of bytes to read. Java doesn't guarantee that it actually reads
this many bytes - it could be less!
This patch now reads up until the expected size number of bytes. If there are
more than expected, the actual number of available bytes is not printed (we
probably shouldn't read the additional bytes, security-wise - the erlang
external byte representation is broken in this case though).
I applied a patch posted on erlang-questins in September 2009, see
http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-patches/2009-September/000478.html
It was not enough to fix the bug though so I extended this patch a little.
