Yes, the code that will be changed is part of NSS, which is part of mozilla.
The changes will be on the NSS trunk, which means they won't affect mozilla
right away because mozilla presently uses a branch of NSS, not the trunk.
But eventually mozilla will switch to the newer NSS code and will have to
deal with this new version of the code.
Mozilla doesn't use the SSL server code in NSS, but that code does get built.
There is a stub implementation of the SSL server code that is presently used
on the MAC only. Perhaps we should also use it for OpenVMS.
As Wan-Teh noted in another reply, there is an implementation of POSIX
process-shared unnamed semaphores that uses unix (or unix-like) pipes.
If OpenVMS has pipes then we could use those. But probably the best thing
to do for OpenVMS is to use the stub implementation of the server code.
