I don't know what the current situation with NSPR is. I guess I am not reviewing patches fast enough. That's certainly my fault. As for the option of fixing NSPR: you have that option. NSPR public functions need to stay backward compatible. This means the prototypes of public functions and the definitions of public types cannot change. (There are exceptions, if done carefully.) Bugs in function behavior can certainly be fixed.
