Description
Nightly build hit this: http://builds.flonkings.com/job/Lucene-trunk-Linux-Java7-64-test-only/91095
And I'm able to repro at least once after beasting w/ the right JVM (1.7.0_55) and G1GC.

Research direction
Start with the linked nightly-build report and the attached TestBinaryDocIndex.java, then trace the RAMDir code involved in the reported read-past-EOF condition. Reproduce it with the stated Java 1.7.0_55 and G1GC environment if available. The issue does not define a specific expected fix or completion test, so the scope needs clarification before implementation.
