Repeating what I wrote in the other alias you posted to earlier this week:

If you don't need the unlimited policy files, you don't have to install 
them.  But if you want the unlimited strengths, you must still install them.

This error description is pretty vague.  I haven't heard of any other 
issues, you might try redownloading the policy file distribution.  Was 
this when using SSL?

Sorry, too little info.
