Good find, thank you!  Since seeing the above post, I prepared my own
patches to update NSS to 3.30.2 and disable the long b64 tests.

And now I see you've prepared your own patch that only updates to
3.30.1.  I'm not sure why we would consider rebuilding everything with
3.30.1 when 3.30.2 already exists, even if the only changes are to
certs.

I'll push this batch of patches soon, including fixes to graphite2 and
the icecat update, after a bit more testing.

     Thanks!
