Based on my read of the code in lib/freebl/, SHA256ContextStr & co
hold the context data for SHA2, but are headers like sha256.h
installed? I don't know enough of NSS to be able to answer to
that. If, like OpenSSL, the context internals are not provided, I
think that you could use SHA256_NewContext() and track the allocation
with the resource owner callbacks, but doing a palloc() would be
much simpler if the context internals are available.

That makes sense, fixed.

I have done more testing across all versions of OpenSSL, and applied
this one, meaning that we are done for SHA2. Thanks for the reviews!
Now, moving back to MD5..
