Event Timeline

I think there are some races in the crl updated code but no real harm.
To improve you patch we could write a wait_for_idle function which counts the active connections and the housekeeping threads. It would also need to block new connections etc.

Please replace the last line with

return leave_cmd  (ctx, crl_flush_cache ()?GPG_ERR_GENERAL:0);
