Comment(by rransom):

 From the 0.2.1.18 release notes:
 {{{
   o Minor bugfixes (clients):
     - Treat duplicate certificate fetches as failures, so that we do
       not try to re-fetch an expired certificate over and over and over.
 }}}
 Clients that don't have this fix ''might'' still be a nuisance, although
 certainly a less severe one.
