Comment(by nickm):

 Well, this is a pile of junkiness.

 The download_status_t object that gets used for certificates is one in
 cert_list_t , which is a per-authority structure.  We really need a
 download_status_t that works on a per-certificate basis to avoid this kind
 of bug.

 Fortunately, cert_list_t is only used in routerlist.c, so in theory the
 changes should be easy to isolate.
