FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.6.0_22"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 17.1-b03, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
PKCS11 driver has limit for session count.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
After refactoring done in 1.6.0_21 in sun.security.pkcs11.SessionManager it is not possible to initialize SunPKCS11 provider more times than PKCS11 driver maxSessionCount limit. When initializing (maxLimitCount + 1) instance exception is thrown.

In 1.6.0_20 or earlier this works fine.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Create in loop more than maxSessionCount (this is specific for PKCS11 driver). In maxSessionCounty + 1 loop exception is thrown.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
no exception is thrown
ACTUAL -

Exception in thread "main" java.security.ProviderException: Initialization failed

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
