This was working for the case in which multiple CRL references were in the same DP, but not if they were in separate DPs - in that case the exception was thrown immediately and no further CRLs were checked.

The cache is working correctly though. The problem is that the code should continue to check for more CRLs.

Thanks for addressing my feedback. The latest update seems good.
