I don't know of any test cases to run when streaming is used.  Christian said
that not all cases would be tested by smime.sh  I'm guessing there needs to be a
test case added to smime.sh that does operations on big files to force streaming
to be used when testing the smime functionality.

I just haven't had the time to do that.

With the patch above, Key Escrow, smime.sh, and my small sample program all
generate correct DER which NSS can successfully read in.

Javier, do you need my help in adding this to the daily QA?

It seems that pk12util tested some of those features since my check-in broke
that test.

But I think it'd be a good idea to add a test to smime.sh where it tries to sign
and/or encrypt a message that is > 1MB.

I don't have a test case handy though.  :(

Sorry, I do not have the time to make the testcase either, because I will be on
NSS only 50% of my time as soon as we are done "downsizing" the current projects.
As soon as you or someone attaches a unit test here I will add it to smime.sh
Do you think it is high priority or high severity?

Does cmsutil have a way to use streaming mode right now ? If not, this needs to be reassigned to a developer until it does.
