i've done some tests with the RI (both 1.4 and 1.5) and the results are:

* original exceptions (e.g. class not found) are _not_ swallowed; instead they
are chained as cause(s) of exceptions that are raised later in other classes of
the xxx.getInstance() invocation chain.

* the exception for one provider (last one tried) appear when the getInstance()
methods do not designate a specific provider.


a new Mauve test gnu/testlet/gnu/java/security/TestOfPR28678.java has been
added to highlight and validate the up-coming patch.
