Moved from the jruby issue tracker: jruby/jruby/issues/4129

Environment

$ jruby -v
jruby 9.1.4.0 (2.3.1) 2016-09-01 2e1327f Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.77-b03 on 1.8.0_77-b03 +jit [darwin-x86_64]
$ uname -a
Darwin marshall-work-lappy.local 15.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 15.6.0: Thu Jun 23 18:25:34 PDT 2016; root:xnu-3248.60.10~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

Expected Behavior

Net::SSH.start should be able connect to an SSH server that supports ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 without raising any errors. This worked in 9.1.2.0, but I believe it was because that class of algorithms was not supported (I think because OpenSSL::PKey::EC did not exist at all).

Actual Behavior

irb(main):001:0> require 'net/ssh'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> Gem.loaded_specs['net-ssh'].version
=> #<Gem::Version "3.2.0">
irb(main):003:0> RUBY_DESCRIPTION

If I hack net-ssh to exclude all the ecd* algorithms from Net::SSH::Transport::Algorithms::ALGORITHMS and Net::SSH::KnownHosts::SUPPORTED_TYPE I am able to connect to the same server without error.

Also using MRI 2.2.4 and the same version of net-ssh I am able to connect to the same server without error.
