i sent this yesterday -- but just remembered something.
in jdk 1.1.7 we completely re-wrote part of the
SecureRandom implementation, so you shouldn't run into this problem
if you use 1.1.7.

jdk 1.1.7 isn't out yet, but should be available in the near future.
jdk 1.2 (beta 3) is already out, and has the fix.

sorry for the confusion.
thanks,
charlie
