Um, you replied to my comment to David Stutzman.  I think David ran into
a known problem with NSS 3.11.x generating ECC key pairs in third party
crypto modules.  There's a fix for that now, that is available in source
form, but it not yet officially released.   I'm not suggesting that anyone
upgrade to 3.12 to solve the ECC problem, (although I do believe it is
fixed in 3.12).  Rather I suggest they try the 3.11.10 source code.

The problem you had, in another thread, is (reportedly) not with using
generated ECC key pairs, but rather is with loading a particular third
party crypto module.  I'll reply to your message in that thread, to try
to keep the threads separate.

Sure, lots of people have.
