You're right.  I'd completely forgotten the SSL.  Odd, since I do
nothing but SSL here. 
As I recall, it's re-issue your certificate in OpenSSL format (or
convert it) and change the SSL specific parameters as follows:
 Drop the "sslProtocol" and keystore* attributes and replace with 
        SSLEngine="on"
      SSLCertificateFile="path"
      SSLCertificateKeyFile="path"
      SSLPassword="password"
Yes, re-issuing the cert or converting it will be a hassle, but is well
documented on the website, as are the above attributes/parameters.

I addressed this as an answer to Mark's original suggestion, and I
quote:
  "Right now, the quickest way to fix this is to switch to the
APR/native connector and use 1.1.19"

In particular, he stated that switching to the NIO connector at this
point wouldn't address it (from my reading of his post), as the fix will
require a JDK/JRE fix from the vendor and a workaround isn't available
yet.  But the 1.1.19 APR has the workaround available now.

No, the SSL config is completely different.  Easier to use the NIO
<Connector>, as Mark suggested.
