[Bug classpath/27372] New: BigInteger should use nextBytes()

[gnu at frogcircus dot org]

In addition to bug #23899, reported separately, there is one other Classpath
bug that I've run into while attempting to compile and test BouncyCastle
(http://www.bouncycastle.org/) with a free JVM. Currently two of the test cases
fail, and as with the previously referenced bug, the fault appears to lie in
Classpath.

To see the failed test cases, download the latest beta releases of bctest*.jar
and bcprov*.jar from http://www.bouncycastle.org/betas/ and then execute the
following command:

   gij -cp bctest-jdk14-133b08.jar:bcprov-jdk14-133b08.jar
org.bouncycastle.crypto.test.RegressionTest

The errors obtained are:

EC: r component wrong.

I'll follow up with additional details as they become available.
