bc v1.0.2.4 FIPS failing with java 8 for AIX

[Sicarius07]

I am using bc-fips for encrypting/decrypting a script file. Encryption/decryption was working fine with bc-fips v1.0.2.3
But with v1.0.2.4 getting error while encryption or decryption.

    org.bouncycastle.crypto.fips.FipsSelfTestFailedError: Exception on self test: Array index out of range: 32: EC

Can someone please help me with this?
Actually I am getting error while adding BC-FIPS provider instance (BouncyCastleFipsProvider) to Java Security
Security.addProvider(new BouncyCastleFipsProvider());

Thanks in advance!

This is an issue with BigInteger construction on the IBM JVM. We currently have an update in process to deal with this.

The update, bc-fips-1.0.2.5 is now available on Maven Central. It's still in process though.
