Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.5.13-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

When I visit

 https://www.alecu.org/

Iceweasel displays the following page:

> Secure Connection Failed
>
> An error occurred during a connection to www.alecu.org.
>
> SSL received a malformed Server Key Exchange handshake message.
>
> (Error code: ssl_error_rx_malformed_server_key_exch)

The same problem occurs if I use iceweasel 3.6.10-1 from experimental.

If I download and run Firefox 3.5.13 or 3.6.10 from Mozilla's website,
they're able to connect to the site successfully.

I changed the User-Agent string to match the one sent by Firefox, but
the error persisted.
