The method javax.crypto.KeyGenerator.getInstance() throws exception
unexpected when work in Cp037 character encoding.

Here is the example demonstrating the bug:
------------------ -----------------
import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException
import javax.crypto.KeyGenerator;

public class CipherEBCDIC {

    public static void main(String[] argv) {
        String algorithm = "DES";
        try {
            KeyGenerator kg = KeyGenerator.getInstance(algorithm);
        } catch(NoSuchAlgorithmException nsae) {
        }
        System.exit(0);
    }
}
-------------- Output from the test -----------------
java -Dfile.encoding=Cp037 CipherEBCDIC
Exception in thread "main" ÑKKʺúÐÐú¨Êú@ѺK¿úKÓ¿ÌúKúÐóúM¦ýóÚ`M-^EøKø`±±^T±^T^TK±±±^T±Ã^T^T±øM-^U^U©]ú@ÈÊÃÈýÐÈKMÈÊÃÈýÐÈKÑz·]Èñó@¿z@ÑKKM-^Bñú¿Êºúz@Èú@óú@ñ@úó@@úñóú@ÈÂóz@ѺK¿úKz@@±z@ºú@ú@óúúúú@ѺK¿úKKLúnM¦ýóÚ`M-^EøKø`±±^T±^T^TK±±±^T±Ã^T^T±øM-^U^U©]KKK@ø@
