Putting this back in an "Open" state just so I don't lose track of it.

I have started looking at your test attachment.

It's been a couple of weeks already, so I may not remember all the details.

There are two issues.  The first one is that if you try to generate <=20 random 
numbers, given the same seed, classpath implementation gives completely 
different sequence of numbers from that of Sun's code (maybe it generates the 
same output disregarding seed value - I do not remember).  The second issue is 
that if you try to generate >20 random numbers, classpath starts repeating 
previously generated 20 values instead of generating new ones.

I will try to find my tests and submit them later.

Could you provide more information? What were you expecting? Do you have some 
sample code or a test case?

If you try to run serial.class on Sun/IBM JDK and then on any JVM that uses 
classpath, the sequences of random numbers that Cipher outputs will be 
completely different
