Thanks for the information, Orcan.  Well, drat.  I guess I'll have to see
if I can either downgrade the itext usage in the app I'm looking at, or
excise it altogether.

Can you send me your itext-2 patches?  I can't promise anything, but I'll
see if I can get it working with the latest bouncycastle.  Thanks,
