 in d06af95 and which now also removes all entries from the failure cache
 using `rend_cache_failure_purge`.  This seems important for making

 What do you think?

 The client failure cache was introduced in 027 so using
 `rend_cache_purge()` in any case will do the work. Just talked with
 karsten, we agree on closing the ticket.
