SSLException in SslHandler; based on SecureChat example

[Trustin Lee]

The following attachment is the test code I used to reproduce the problem. 
It's a simple regression test that performs a lot of concurrent handshake,
which is suspected to cause the weird 'null key' exception.

You might want to comment out the sentences that insert ExecutionHandler.  I
was not able to reproduce the problem either with or without
ExecutionHandler anyway.  Bryan, could you try to reproduce on your side
modifying the test code attached in this post?

Thanks in advance,
Trustin
