Hi
As far as I know the byte[] super class is Object and it seems that
they do not overwrite the standard equals() method (as they also do
for the toString()).
I also checked Byte[] because its superclass is Object[] but it is
the same.
I think their is no way to go around except to write a wrapper class
around byte[], eh?
Have fun
