+
+The FIPS module normally enters an internal error mode if any self test fails.
+Once this error mode is active, no services or cryptographic algorithms are
+accessible from this point on.
+Continuous tests are a subset of the self tests (e.g., a key pair test during key
+generation, or the CRNG output test).
+Setting this value to C<0> allows the error mode to not be triggered if any
+continuous test fails. The default value of C<1> will trigger the error mode.
+Regardless of the value, the operation (e.g., key generation) that called the
+continuous test will return an error code if its continuous test fails. The
+operation may then be retried if the error mode has not been triggered.
