Did you eventually solve this issue?  If not, is there a bug
already filed in Bugzilla?

I'm still seeing exactly the same on F11 with all updates installed
as of today. I'd be tempted to point fingers at nss-softokn-freebl,
as this is where the code to ope libnspr4.so actually lives.
Upgrading openldap-servers and to rawhide has no effect.
