To whom it may concern,

I have recieved an error using javakey that I have not been able
to find any documentation on. I have used the identitydb.obj file from one
machine to another and tried to add a new identity to it. While I can
create a new signer identity when I go to create the key pair for the
signer, one of two things happen. On the machine that I put the file on,
the call to generate the keys is the following:

javakey -gk MM DSA 1024 - where MM is the name of the identity

But this hangs the window and I need to restart the task. My OS is
Win95 and the task DOES NOT show up as "Not Responding". But if I try this
process on the first machine, the one that I took the identitydb.obj file
from I get a NullPointerException. Naturally there is nothing in the code
about a NullPointerException. Number one I was wondering if you could
provide a bit on insight to this, but also this is something that I am
sure that you would like to know.
