Details

If you run some NSS command tools such as pk12util on NT, they look for 
databases in the ".netscape" directory, which does not exist.
In the 3.4 build, however, no error is returned from NSS_Initialize, and the 
program continues. In the case of pk12util it crashes in 
PK11_GetInternalKeySlot(), without even being able to display the syntax of the 
command.
You can also reproduce it on any other OS by doing "pk12util -d nonexistentdir" 
. I traced through the higher-level code and errors from NSS_Initialize are 
checked for, but none is returned.

NSS 3.3 does not have the problem.
