Repeat by: 1) Get a free Thawte personal certificate 2) Edit->Preferences->Privacy & Security->Certificates 3) Click on "Manage Certificates" 4) Click on "Backup All" 5) choose a file, a password for the file 6) kaboom The backup file is never created. It dies in sec_asn1e_contents_length. (mozilla built from trunk, 2002051816; built with WS6U2 on SPARC, gcc 2.96 on Linux)
Julien, John, could you reproduce this crash?

I don't have a SUN to test on, but reporter, can you see if the directory that you are backing up to has write permissions?
I was saving to my home directory. It fails on Linux, too, you don't need access to a Sun.
(and, yes, I have write permission for my home directory)
With my most recent build (yesterday evening) I was able to backup my certificates properly (on Linux/x86) and import them into another instance of mozilla (SunOS/SPARC) on a different machine. Did the recent NSS changes fix this? To confirm I tried Backup All and Backup. Both work now.
Greg, I don't recall making NSS changes to the p12 code after 5/18, but there were some earlier this month. Perhaps your mozilla was not using NSS 3.5 yet . Wan-Teh, when did NSS 3.5 land on the mozilla trunk ? I haven't had a chance to try a Thawte cert yet.
Marking works for me with the 6/3 Linux trunk build.
