Thank you *very* much to Tobias and Levente for explaining this. At least it isn't just something I screwed up, so that makes me feel a bit less stupid. The connection has been working ok until recently though, which I suspect means somebody has been Fiddling With The Server. Hands may get slapped.

I thought I knew more about these certificate things than I ever wanted; now I know I know nothing. Which is *still* more than I ever wanted :-)
