User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.8) Gecko/20060911 SUSE/1.0.6-0.1 SeaMonkey/1.0.6

A few days ago, seamonkey is very slow when connecting to https sites like eBay signin. After some waiting time a popup windows appears containing messages like Error establishing an encrypted connection to 102.112.2o7.net. Error Code: -5990."

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try https://signin.ebay.de/

Actual Results:  
"Error establishing an encrypted connection to signin.ebay.de. Error Code: -5990."
"The operation timed out when attempting to contact signin.ebay.de."

Expected Results:  
A sucessful connection, or a useful error message.
When viewing CA certificates, expired certificates should be marked in some way (red color maybe)

Turning off OCSP validation of certificates makes the problem go away.

Another bug citing a negative decimal error code.

This bug had been reported as a duplicate of bug 363452, but that master report deals with a timeout issue for some verisign server. As the server seems to be responding again (says the master report), I'm afraid that bug will be closed soon without further action. However I think the error message should be improved at least.
