I have been trying to write some verify code using SFL 1.9 and have come
across the same problem.  It's obvious from the source.

In sm_Verify.cpp revision 1.89, the only place where the m_pSignerInfos
array is constructed is in the code at line 343 in the PreProc() method
that takes only a blob as parameter.  This method is also called by:

1. the constructor that takes a pCSMIME and a blob (CSM_Buffer *).
2. the Verify method that takes a pCSMIME and a blob.
3. the PreProc method that takes a pCSMIME, a blob and an optional
recipient list.

The constructors that take a CSM_ContentInfoMsg pointer or a CSM_Content
pointer don't call it.  This looks to me to be a mistake.  Is there
going to be a new release soon that fixes this?
