Hi,

I have bisected a strange regression down to this commit that you made. 
If I apply the attached patch (which restores the original 2 lines of 
code), then everything works correctly. I apologize, but I don't have a 
simple reproducer. The gist of the problem is that Java cannot decrypt a 
file under certain circumstances, e.g., "ERROR 
javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: pad block corrupted". There is more 
information in the bug report at http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/588861 , 
but not all of it is helpful.

Any thoughts?
