Constructor RC5ParameterSpec(int,int,int,byte[]) throws
unexpected IAE like test code below illustrates. This exception is
unspecified since the spec states only "Throws: IllegalArgumentException - if iv is null."
=================== Test20.java ======================
import javax.crypto.spec.*;

public class Test20 {

    public static void main(String args[]) {

        String testString = new String("testStringToBeConvertedIntoBytes");

        RC5ParameterSpec rs = null;

        try {
            rs = new RC5ParameterSpec(1, 1, 32, testString.substring(0, 6).getBytes());
            System.out.println("No exceptions thrown");
        } catch(IllegalArgumentException ex) {
            System.out.println("IAE: " + ex);
        }
    }
}
============== Test output with J2SE 1.5.0-beta-b29 ====
IAE: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: IV too short

Constructor RC5ParameterSpec(int, int, int, byte[],int)
is affected by this bug too. To reproduce simply use the following string:

    rs = new RC5ParameterSpec(1, 1, 32, testString.substring(0, 6).getBytes(), 0);

in test code below instead of existent one.
