 public synchronized void ensureCapacity( int minimumCapacity )
Parameters
-  minimumCapacity 
-  the minimum desired capacity.
  
Description
 Ensures that the capacity of the buffer is at least equal to the
 specified minimum.
 If the current capacity of this string buffer is less than the 
 argument, then a new internal buffer is allocated with greater 
 capacity. The new capacity is the larger of: 
 
 - The minimumCapacity argument. 
 
- Twice the old capacity, plus 2. 
 
If the minimumCapacity argument is nonpositive, this
 method takes no action and simply returns.
