Problems with slrn and nss-compat-ossl

Hello,

I have two issues with slrn 0.9.9p1 using nss-compat-ossl.

First, slrn exits without an error message when the NSS db in
legacy BDB format does not exist (i.e. cert8.db and key3.db),
openSUSE only provides a newer variant in SQLite format.

The second problem is that SSL connections tend to stall randomly
when fetching the list of groups, headers or an article after
reading a certain amount of data.
--debug doesn't show anything unusual execpt the error message,
e.g. "!Disconnecting from server. !Closing the server
connection.". This is not due to server issues, it happens to me
on at least three different servers (news.arcor.de,
nttp.aioe.org, and secnews.netscape.com) and only when using SSL.

This is on openSUSE 11.2 and Factory which comes with NSS 3.12.4
and nss-compat-ossl 0.9.2.
