Hi Vinnie

Why does this test run in /othervm mode? Thanks Max It was failing due to SecureRandom problems on some platforms when run in samevm mode. I think it was related to a lack of entropy.

Really? That surprises me! Generally it's when you run in othervm that you you might run out of entropy in /dev/random.

Can you reliably duplicate this?
