Comment(by Russell McOrmond):

 I am wondering if there is a temporary workaround?  I thought that
 installing the relevant Root certificate would do the trick.  Many of the
 sites I'm wanting to access are using cacert.org signed certificates.
 Unfortunately going to the relevant "Root Certificate" page at
 http://www.cacert.org/index.php?id=3 doesn't offer me anything.   Clicking
 on the PEM file doesn't seem to do anything -- clicking on the DER file
 caused a file to be downloaded, but doesn't do anything when I open it.

 Hopefully this bug tracking system will send notifications so I will know
 when to test/etc.
