ArgumentOutOfRange is on inputOffset and not inputBufer

[waltiam]

Type of issue

Other (describe below)

Description

The definition for the reason the ArgumentOutOfRange exception is thrown is "inputBuffer parameter requires a non-negative number"

• inputBuffer is byte[] so a negative number is not a valid description
• the code actually throws on inputOffset < 0
