The problem is a NegativeArraySizeException occurs in SecurityAttributeList due to the conversion of byte values into integers before bitwsie operations were performed. Negative byte values were sign extended yeilding a negative value for the final integer after bitwise operations completed.Problem conclusion Sign extended bits were masked off before the bitwise operation was performed.Temporary fix PQ59150-3.5.5-3.5.6.jarComments
