Kryo NullPointerException when loading class KeyPair variable with ALG_EC_FP keys

[dempa]

It looks like there is an issue when loading (deserializing) an installed applet with a KeyPair class variable that is initialized with ALG_EC_FP and has generated keys.

Using algorithm ALG_RSA does not trigger the crash.

public class OTPApplet extends Applet {
    private final KeyPair keyPair;
    OTPApplet(byte[] bArray, short bOffset, byte bLength) {
        //keyPair = new KeyPair(ALG_RSA, (short) 1024);  // works on both installation and on load
        keyPair = new KeyPair(ALG_EC_FP, (short) 256); // works on installation but crashes on load

        keyPair.genKeyPair(); // note: for the crash to occur the keys must be generated

The installation / instantiation of the applet works fine.
When the app is restarted it throws an exception in SimulatorRuntime::loadApplet()
