Thanks for the link.  Which ssl_ciphers do you use?  Which one does
openssl show you're using?  I have:

ssl_ciphers ALL:!aNULL:!ADH:!eNULL:!MEDIUM:!LOW:!EXP:!kEDH:RC4+RSA:+HIGH;

and 'openssl s_client -host HOSTNAME -port 443' shows:

Cipher    : ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384

I also get "Verify return code: 20 (unable to get local issuer
certificate)" from that command but I'm guessing that's OK since I get
the same when using www.google.com as the HOSTNAME.
