Previously when PSS support is added, the NSS library that we have does not support digest-specific PSS signatures. Now that some machine starts failing due to this assert and passes without this assert, it at least confirms that these digest-specific PSS signature mechanisms still work with the setParameter() call. I will take a closer look at these new mechanisms and see if any changes are needed. Best to remove this assert ASAP for a clean tier 2 result...
