Comment:
This patch fixes an infinite loop in the lazy provider
initialisation code in java.security.Security.  The 
'providers' method calls 'loadProviders' (line 87 or 87), 
which then calls 'provides' (line 138) ... and so on.

The problem occurs in the following Mauve testcase:

  gnu.testlet.java.security.Security.provider

and also causes object serialisation and other testcases
to fail.

[This is a minimal patch to fix the problem.  If it was
my code, I'd also fix the indentation and the poor choice 
of variable names; e.g. 'providers_lazy*'.]
