Right,

Problem solved. I took the suggestion, and read the FAQ. Adding:

SSLCipherSuite
ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL

To my VirtualHosts appears to fix the problem (now I can delete about
10Gig's worth of VMWare VM's)

As it happens, yes, we do have Secure Site Pro from Verisign, although
as every day passes, I wish we had stuck with Thawte. For some reason we
never had problems like this until now (which is why I never really
bothered investigating mod_ssl too much). Of-course Verisign couldn't
care less.

I really should publish a book containing a full account of my dealings
with verisign. It would be a comedy hit.

Anyway, in conclusion, thanks everyone who replied - I got this sorted
out faster than I thought I would thanks to you guys.

Regards,

L
