I have mod_ssl and Apache (specifically Stronghold), and I'm using
certificates and CRLs.  Whenever the time passes the time specified in
the nextUpdate field for the CRL, Apache stops responding to requests
and I get the following errors in the error log:

  mod_ssl: Certificate Verification: Error (12): CRL has expired

I have a script in place to fetch a new CRL and restart the web
server, but it's mighty inconvient for the server to just shut down
when the CRL expires.  (Which can happen if the CRL can't get fetched
in time.)  Kind of suboptimal behavior.

What's the best work around?  Modify the code?  ssl_engine_kernel.c, I
presume?  Anybody have a patch to log the condition as a warning
rather than just falling over?

Thanks,
Steven
