[Bug classpath/22652] ClassCastException thrown for MessageDigestSpi subclasses

[gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org]

the JDK documentation states that Security Providers wishing to implement
concrete MessageDigest algorithms SHOULD extend MessageDigestSpi.

message digest implementations in the gnu.crypto package follow that rule, yet
when the MessageDigest.getInstance() -with 2 arguments- is invoked a
ClassCastException is thrown; e.g.:

java.lang.ClassCastException: gnu.crypto.jce.Sha160Spi cannot be cast to
java.security.MessageDigest

cheers;
