The lesson to learn from the Red Hat fiasco is that vendors are not
adequately testing renegotiation either. All the more reason to get
out from under it. I did not like being told that "Postgres fails and
$randomapp doesn't, therefore it's Postgres' problem" when actually
the difference was that $randomapp doesn't invoke renegotiation.
