Server certificate in IE6

We have an e-commerce site that uses certificates from Thawte, we renewed our certificate in October. If you access https pages from IE6, you get a warning that the certificate has expired, if you look at the expiration date, it is actually an old certificate. Now this does not happen when accessing the page from IE7.

This happens when the page is accessed from ANY machine with IE6, so it cannot be that the certificate is cached locally.

This is our certificate that has expired, however I found the problem. There was some code emitted to IE6 users just to track the script, this code loaded an image from another subdomain in our domain. This subdomain did not renew the certificate. Wasn't easy to track down but once you find it like d'oh!

Is this YOUR expired certificate or Thawte certificate upstream? First of all, I am assuming that IE6 computers have an older CRL, whereas IE7 has a new CTS loaded.
