Description

I find this problem when testing NDNS, where validator requests certificate from NDNS.

When validator receives back anything but a valid certificate, it throws an exception "BER decode error", which causes some applications to unexpectedly fail.

It is not possible to handle this exception inside the application, as it is getting thrown from the inside of Face::processEvents() loop.
