Based on the fact the testmgr code sets the weak key flag for

Self-NAK. Due to mail server issues, this might show up before the original...

My understanding of the flag's meaning appears to be backwards, Herbert pointed out that the use of this flag is self-consistent. Also, the printk probably shouldn't be there, the caller should check retval and complain if need be.
