I'm requesting pm_ack again. This is an important bug. Not fixing it prevents us from taking advantage of the Nehalem processor's support for AES accelaration. This is of particular interest to one of our partents, IBM. The bug has been fixed upstream in NSS 3.12.9 which is already in the release candidate stage and we expect it to go final in about a week.
