Since the Apache distribution wasn't a 'standard' distribution, a link that 
is normally present was not, which resulted in the automatic SSL 
certificate date checking routine to not gracefully report on an imminent 
expiration.

The missing link has been created, and the certificate checking code has 
been modified to avoid similar situations in the future.
