	Hmm; yes - then again, the SSL code hasn't been tested in living
memory; also the OpenSSL license is utterly broken, inasmuch that it's a
"You must credit my dog in your TV advertising" type license. So it's
never used / tested.

	I suspect the proximate cause is that it's simply chosing to use the
non-encrypted profile instead. You should prolly poke at that.
