hi,

we modified the SecureRandom implementation that javakey relies
on to generate keys. unfortunately, this implementation doesn't
work well on Win95/Win98 (although it is fine on NT, solaris,
and other platforms).

this is due to the inefficiencies in Win95/Win98 as it deals with
multiple running threads.

we have done our best to work about the Win95/Win98 problems,
and the fix will go into jdk 1.1.8.

sorry for the inconvenience,
charlie
