https, MacOS and Certificates

[Timothy Bleiler]

It's tricky. One that works is running 10.7, one used to work and now doesn't is running 10.7. One worked under 10.5 and failed when upgraded to 10.7. I only just tracked it down to this issue earlier today and haven't gotten any details back from other users yet.
