[Pki-users] getting NEED_TO_NOTIFY_ISSUED_SAVE_FAILED with dogtag-submit

sure... let me get you a trace. Are there any specific flags I should set
in strace?

Also... when I request a cert using caServerCert and approve it in DogTag,
the certmonger request sits in CA_WORKING status for a while. How long can
I expect it to stay that way?

I've always been impatient and done a *getcert refresh *on the request to
force a download but is there a configurable poll interval or anything? I
didn't see anything obvious in the docs.
