Hmm.  I think it would have gone into the "moderation queue", where I would
have seen it, and I haven't seen anything from you there.

:(  That error code means that NSS found something wrong, but failed to
set the proper error code for the problem it found, leaving the error
code set to a previous internal value that is irrelevant to the problem
that led to the exception.  :( :(  No SSL function should ever return
with that particular error code set.  When ever an SSL function does
return that error code, it's a bug in NSS.  I've tried to eliminate all
of those over the years, but apparently at least one still exists.

What can you do to investigate?
Maybe use a source level debugger ?
Maybe capture the SSL connection with SSLTAP?
Maybe use wireshark to see if any OCSP fetch occurred or any CRL fetch
occurred?
