GlobalSign: java.io.IOException: signed fields ove

Question

Hi
I'm useing JSSE to open SSL connection like this:
     Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
     System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs", "com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");
     URL verisign = new URL("https://www.globalsign.net/index.cfm");
     BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(verisign.openStream()));
Unfortunately an exception is thrown during the handshake, because some GlobalSign SSL server certificates cannot be used with JSSE.
I saw in this topic:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=2&thread=4135
that it is possible to use Bouncy Castle, http://www.bouncycastle.org, to workaround this. Can anybody tell me how, or is there any other way I could do this?

Hello!!
I Have same problem.
I tried to use org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider, but there appears new problem.
when I use
Security.addProviderAt(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider())
I have stacktrace
java.io.IOException: signed fields overrun
     at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.HandshakeMessage$CertificateMsg.<init>(DashoA12275)
     at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.ClientHandshaker.processMessage(DashoA12275)

     at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.a(DashoA12275)
     at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.AppOutputStream.write(DashoA12275)
whin I try to use BouncyCastleProvider stacktrace is
init keymanager of type SunX509
default context init failed: java.security.PrivilegedActionException <<java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Algorithm SunX509 not available>>
java.net.SocketException: SSL implementation not available

     at HTTPClient.HTTPConnection.Post(HTTPConnection.java:1107)
Please, can you write how I can use BouncyCastleProvider for SSL connections? Or where I can get documentation?
Sorry for my bad english.
