Reported by Tim. Currently data.coremetrics.com is the test case.

The symptom is
"Unable to establish an encrypted connection to data.coremetrics.com 
error -8155"

The certificate checks out on Camino. This is probably a flaw in NSS PKI
and likely affects other sites. Critical fix for 9.0.4.

The certificate when run through Netscape 4.x generates a path length constraint
error, but this might be spurious.
Comment 2 by classi...@floodgap.com, Aug 11, 2009
Actually, per http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.8/source/security/nss/lib/util/secerr.h
-8155 is BASE + 37, which is indeed SEC_ERROR_PATH_LEN_CONSTRAINT_INVALID. Go Nav4!

Looks like it is thrown by
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.8/source/security/nss/lib/certhigh/certvfy.c

This looks like our winner:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=221644

I will try to land this on the internal tree tonight and see if it fixes the problem.

While we're at it, let's also fix
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=231775
and  issue 38 .

There was another one I wanted to fix that's on the G5, I'll add that to this list later.
