This patch changes the mutex locking during Mozilla NSS context initialization and shutdown.
When multiple TLS contexts are created in multi-threaded application (like slapd with syncrepl), certificate, private key, or slot lookup errors appeared from time to time when other thread was loading the certificates. This patch makes the process safe as much as possible by protecting the whole context initialization and shutdown. Unfortunatelly, identifying the unsafe operations can be tricky with MozNSS. This patch should not cause any performance drawback, because the initialization is run just once per context.
Patch could not upload to OpenLDAP FTP server due to "No space left on device. Therefore I have uploaded the patch to fedorapeople.org. The patch is also available in 'moznss' branch of git://github.com/fcelda/openldap.git repository.
