Experimenting with key, csr, etc creation reveals that if I creat the 
keys using openssl 92b, ns405/8 give me the error message

if I step back and use ssleay from openssl 91c, all works fine. This 
appears to be consistent with all the trials I've run (about a dozen) 
using this procedure:

ssleay genrsa -des3 -rand file1:...:file5 1024 > www.xxx.com.key
or openssl

openssl req -new -key ../private/www.xxx.com.key > www.xxx.com.csr
openssl req -x509 -in www.xxx.com.csr -key ../private/www.xxx.com.key 
> www.xxx.com.crt

using ssleay (openssl 91c) for the first step produces good results 
for NS 405/8 using openssl 92b causes ns 405/8 to produce the error: 
"The certificate is not approved for the attempted operation"

MSIE and ns v. 3 browsers continue to work fine.
