A user has reported to me that all the HTTPS urls on the www.tracerlock.com 
site, e.g.

https://www.tracerlock.com/graphics/help.gif

are giving him the error "Security error: Data Decryption failure" when he 
views them in Internet Explorer on Mac OS X or OS 9.  It worked when he 
viewed them in iCab for the Macintosh, and they work for me when viewed in 
IE 6 or Netscape 4.75 on Windows XP.  The user's computer clock is set to 
the correct date.

I can't find any google.com or altavista.com matches for the phrase "Data 
decryption error", so I was hoping someone might know what's causing 
this.  Netscape lists the certificate's properties as follows -- everything 
looks correct:
