Yeah, I don't know why bugzilla didn't find that bug when I searched
using your name.  I'm guessing it has a problem with the special
characters ú and ã.

I think you should attempt to diagnose the problem using the most
easily available information before trying the most difficult (code
debugging).  I think it is quite possible that an examination of the
actual certificates involved will tell the story, and the code in
the module may not not need to be inspected.  As far as I can tell,
you have not yet attached your certs to the bug.  You've attached
CA certs, but not your own certs.  I'm willing to look at your certs
when they're available to me.

As far as development and debugging, we do this.  We do all compilations
with Makefiles and gmake, and don't use IDEs for compilations.
We use MSVC compilers for all compilation, no special mingw compilers.
(I don't use MINGW at all. I use another Unix-like shell package.
but Mingw is more popular because it's free.)

The MSVC compilations produce debug binaries (.exe or .dll files, and .pdb
files).  The debugger built into MSVS 2005 does full source-level debugging
(no assembly code required, except for those functions that are written in
assembly language) using the binaries built that way.  It's a very rich and
powerful source debugger.

I don't build the entire Thunderbird product, the way you did.  I only
work on NSS, so I only build NSS.  I download "nightly" builds of the
programs with which I want to test NSS, such as Thunderbird, and I replace
the downloaded NSS binaries with the ones I built, then I debug.  As long
as I only try to set breakpoints in the code I actually compiled. it works
fine.
