And now, here I am at work without my GPG key.  Oh well.

I did some more bug searching now that I've learned a bit more about
what's going on here through IRC and such.  Turns out certificate trust
seems to be a problem in mono.  I'll investigate it more, but for now,
the workaround is to simply trust all certificates.  Works fine when I
do that.
