Do you get an error that says "p is far too small"?

There is a bug in gnu.crypto.key.dh.GnuDHKeyPairGenerator where it
uses a prime size that is too small (512, when the key agreement
expects a prime 1024 bits or larger). I changed the key agreement code
(I think for 2.0.1) to explicitly reject small primes, but didn't
check the default parameters of the key generator class.

Pass a larger number as the `PRIME_SIZE' parameter of the key pair
generator (1024 is fine), instead of using the default parameters.

This is a bug and will be fixed for 2.0.2, probably to be released
soon, since I have a few other things in the queue that could go in.

Cheers and HTH.
