So there is no discernible negative impact on the client?
Correct. At the moment, the only negative impact is the considerably
larger error log files being generated.
Furthermore, watching the error log with tail -f, I can say that the
errors are NOT being thrown EVERY time a browser visits an SSL
encrypted page.
User interface error unable to load Private Key 22439:error:0906A068:PEM

In hindsight, the fact these messages were not prefixed by typical
Apache error log tokens like like [timestamp] [severity] [client]
should have been the tipoff here.
These errors are being thrown not by Apache, mod_ssl or mod_cosign.
That explains why they don't appear at server startup, and normal
client activity doesn't seem to be affected.
The errors are being thrown by explicit executions of the OPENSSL
utility from within PHP scripts on the application that was used to
test out the new certificates -- an application used to, ironically,
MANAGE SSL CERTIFICATES. The output from backtick'd calls to the
OPENSSL utility was being output to syserr which of course PHP (using
mod_php5) was shunting to the Apache error log for lack of a better
place to put it.
Should be safe to proceed with the other applications of these new
certificates that are so critical today.
Thanks for everybody's patience and indulgence -- clearly this should
never have been posted here, but I was desperate.
