More information...

I just tried reinstalling the original nss pacakges and I am still
having issues.  Firefox gives the security warning and will not do any
ssl stuff (not good!) and evolution will not start.
$ rpm -qa nss{,_ldap}
nss_ldap-244-2.1.x86_64
nss-3.11-2.x86_64
nss_ldap-244-2.1.i386
nss-3.11-2.i386

I've tried rebooting and even booting the original kernel and get the
same results.  Is anyone else seeing this?
