How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Hi Erik,

This was actually caused by an nss update that was probably installed at the same time that you got the latest xemacs update.  See bug 1342158 for details, and information on a new update that fixes the problem.

In addition, I did a new build of xemacs yesterday that fixes the problem as well.  You can see that update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-4df5002763.  If you try it out, please leave karma.  Thank you!

Hi Jerry

Thanks for your prompt response.
I have updated with the new nss package on one of the hosts, and it solved the problem there.

Thank you.
