The following came in via the java-security alias. In looking over
the AVA code, I note we currently do not parse the AVA hex representations.

       /*
         * Now parse the value. "#hex", a quoted string, or a string
         * terminated by "+", ",", ";", ">". Whitespace before or after
         * the value is stripped away.
         */
        temp = new StringBuffer();
        for (c = (char) in.read();
                c == ' ' || c == '\n';
                c = (char) in.read())
            continue;
        if (c == '#') {
            throw new IOException("AVA parse, hex values NYI");
             
This should probably be looked at.
