These errors happen because of unimplemented functions in FriBID (some
proprietary challenge/response schemes). These are needed by the test
web site but not by most (any?) other web sites that use BankID.

Since there are a lot of problems with the official test web site, it's
probably easier to simply create our own test page that does not use
these functions. I'll do that this weekend.
