The key thing is to know whether everything is looking for
InetDbase:CertData

What does:

*show inetdbase*

show on the various systems?

What happens if you rename the CertData file in anything other than where
InetDbase$Path shows? Does anything stop working? (NetSurf itself won't
stop, because it uses its own copy of the certs - currently best part of
2 years out of date!)

We don't want multiple copies of the file splattered around anyone's
system. It doesn't help.
