What proofs are you asking?
I presume that you are using your LDAP CertStore? (if so, have you tried
with the 'normal' jsdsi in-memory CertStore (jsdsi.CertStore)?

What exactly happens when it goes wrong?
Maybe something to do with the circular reference in the certificate structure?
Though I asked Sameer about 3 months ago regarding circular references and he was
confident that he had made steps to prevent this - though that might have been only
when using jsdsi.CertStore.
