Agreed.  Although we should note in passing that we've seen a case where
the authentication fails and then gets better, apparently not reading
the certificate properly.  Who knows, maybe there's a real bug in there
that we'll find if we just keep careful track of events like this.

Thanks again for the report.
Again, I'm sorry you were inconvenienced.
