I've got the same problem some times ago. (posted in the list twice with no
answer).
Maybe I posted it in the wrong place (i.e. if it's a bug the bugdb should be
better)
I checked in the list, in the manual (+FAQ +HOWTO) for a solution and every
explanation have sense
but no one was suitable for me.

In my mind, I believe it is some strange Session Cache management but
without the opinion of others, i'm not
sure whether it could be a bug or just my missunderstanding.

But, maybe the trouble in your case is a bit different.
So, please, check if you compiled Apache with

--enable-rule=SSL_SDBM   ( or with the MM Memory Shared Library)

2. Set the log_file in mode "trace" and check for something like
    "Changed client verification type will force full renegotiation......."
                and/or
    "Inter-Process Session Cache: request=GET status=MISSED id=......."

during the connections whit too much certificate-request;


Hope to be helpfull
Good luck.
