Thanks.

I think I've figured out what was going on.  I was testing with self-signed 
certificates and trying to save some time by using noval rather than setting 
up the corresponding root certificate.  I think the problem is that noval 
doesn't work with old versions of OpenSSL.

The recipe for checking the certficate has changed over the years.  With 
modern versions of OpenSSL, I have to run a few lines of code.  With older 
versions, it happened automagically.  I haven't tracked down the details as to 
when noval works or doesn't work with the current NTS code and/or if I can 
make it work with older versions.
