I don't feel quite right today (hope it's not the flu), so that might be
me.

I think I remember the following cause for the bug:
 * 0.24 generates a CA whose CN=$ca_fqdn.
 * upgrade to 0.25
 * 0.25 client connects to master, ask for "ca" cert
 * master send cert whose CN=$ca_fqdn
 * Clients wants to locally write it as $ca_fqdn.pem, so thinks it is a
normal cert, not a CA.
 * Clients can not authenticate the server because there is no "ca.pem"
file.

But if Luke found his patch fixes #2617, it might be that I didn't get
exactly the issue and the above is wrong.
