Subject: Merlin B71: Signing Jar File Exception

I got the following exception when I am trying to sign a jar file using
verisign pkcs12 key.

jarsigner error: java.lang.RuntimeException: keystore load:
DerValue.getOctetString, not an Octet String: 36

The following are the command I used to sign the jar file, if I change the
build number to b70, the program runs ok. If I use build number b71, I got
the above exception. What has been changed since b71? Or could it be solaris
sparcv9 change (just my guess.)?

$> /re/promoted/jdk/1.4/beta_refresh/b71/binaries/solsparc/bin/java -cp \

Thanks.
