After reading this, I decided to try it on my Linux CVS build. The
problem did not occur for me. I was able to read my yahoo mail in secure
mode (which prior to seeing this thread I did not know existed!). I have
reported this in 76023. Next build I do I'll try it again (in case it's
a bug in the non-PSM code that arrived some time after 12 Apr 2001
16:24:26 PDT). My psm2 stuff is as of 4/13 about 20:00 PDT. The posted
Unix build instructions did not work for me. So I did the check-out like
this:
cvs -z 3 co -P -A mozilla/security
and then per Javier Delgadillo's post (in mozilla dir):
./configure --enable-modules==psm2
make -f client.mk BUILD_MODULES=psm2
which worked without error. Is it possible this bug only occurs with
Windows? I didn't even notice at first that the original reporter is on
Windows.
