Bitcoinj fails with NegativeArraySizeException when iteration over the blocks

Bitcoinj fails with NegativeArraySizeException when iteration over the blocks

I'm iterating over the blocks of some block files generated by bitcoin-core. The following code works without any problem for the first 900 block files.

Context.getOrCreate(MainNetParams.get());
BlockFileLoader blockFileLoader = new BlockFileLoader(
    MainNetParams.get(), 
    Arrays.asList(blockFile.toFile())
);

while(blockFileLoader.hasNext()){
    System.out.println(blockFileLoader.next().getHash());
}

But then it fails at a specific block file with this Exception:

Why is this happening? Could it be, that bitcoinj is not 100% comaptible with the block files, generated by bitcoin-core?
