Please don't file a bug without a stack trace showing the crash is in NSS. When your program crashes, it should create a file named "core" or "coreXXXX" (where XXXXX is a number that varies). You run the gdb debugger pointing it to the executable and the core file, and give it the command "bt" (Back Trace), and it does the rest. If the back trace shows the crash is not in NSS, but in some other library, please direct the bug report accordingly. -- /Nelson Bolyard -- dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
