I'm working on certificate management in GNOME, and 'no concurrent

standstill for now. I see that a sharable DB is on the roadmap for NSS
3.13. Awesome.

In the meantime I'm wondering if having one writer and multiple readers
to the NSS DB is a safe method of sharing a cert database between processes.

Specifically, only one process would initialize with NSS_InitReadWrite()
and all others would initialize with NSS_Init()

The only safe method of sharing a cert database between processes
is that all processes are readers (opening the database read-only).
