That's normal.  The DB is allocated with a minimum of one "page" of memory,
and it doesn't grow until the data in that page exceeds one page.  Then
it grows to two pages, etc.  Your single key hasn't caused it to grow
to a second page yet.

Did the keygen ever ask you to type in characters to act as a random 
number generator?  

Did it prompt you for a password?

I've seen that too.  I think this may be a case of an old error message
being displayed because the code is not properly setting a new error code.

In other words, I'm not sure that you're actually having a problem due
to a DLL load failure.  During the couse of NSS initialization, NSS atttempts
to load some DLLs that often don't exist.  That's not a fatal problem. 

If the code that looks for keys doesn't set a new error code, you get 
the left over error code.

The real question in my mind is: did you get a new key pair gen'ed or not?
Is the failure a failure to gen (and the -K command is correctly reporting
no keys found)?  
Or is the key being genned, but the -K command isn't finding it?  

Did you get prompted for passwords in either command?
