It seems that things must have changed just enough in apache-ssl for my

What exactly? This statement is way too generig for me to understand if
there is a problem and where is located.

After I first filed the report, I dug more deeply into the problem. What had actually broken was my virtual host configuration. Basically, it was being ignored. I redid it from scratch by hand, and it all works now. I don't yet understand exactly what went wrong.

Configurations are provided as examples. They cannot fit all users.

I understand. The real question is whether an upgrade should break older configuration files that used to work just fine (even ones that *may* be arguably incorrect or ambiguous) and if so, what kind of warning should be given during an upgrade.

I'll look over my previous config file and see if I can find just what it was that kept it from working.

Phil
