 Given that this is a rather obscure issue (not many people use client
 certificates) I'd like to wait until there is more consensus about how
 this should be fixed -- it may be that the conclusion will be that the
 approach taken by the OpenSSL team, of disabling renegotiation, is
 not the right solution.
