Thanks Andrew!

It is accepted.  The minor comment I mentioned in the previous mail is
that we may want to merge the functions to trim leading zeros in one method.

There is a method sun.security.pkcs11.P11Util.trimZeroes(byte[] b) which
is used to trim leading zeros.  I think it would be nice to move the
method to sun.security.util.KeyUtil, and make use of this method in the
patch of DHKeyAgreement.engineGenerateSecret(String algorithm) as well.

Pasi, what do you think?

Otherwise, the patch looks fine to me.

I can be the sponsor if you won't able to merge the changes into openJDk
workspace.

Thanks,
Xuelei
