I have been trying with NSS 3.12.9 and curl 7.21.4 on RedHat Linux 2.6.18-194.el5PAE #1 SMP Tue Mar 16 22:00:21 EDT 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

The directory /etc/pki/nssdb contains 3 db files cert8.db, key3.db and secmod.db.

Yes I've looked into the code. Is there a way to resolve/workaround 8187 error happens when the /etc/pki/nssdb exists?
