There is no meaning (at least when comparing to 1), so it's now removed from
the source. At the time Ben invented it, it was meant to expire only after N
calls and not every call of the function. Then Ben (or was it me?) reduced N
to 1. I've completely removed the if-clause now in mod_ssl 2.0.12.

Fine, then 2.0.12 now expires correctly, too.
