Colin: I think I understand now much better; thanks.  The upgrade to
1.0.1 increased the number of ciphers, which in turn broke communication
with bad servers (of which there may be an important number). What a
thorny little knot of a problem. Short of fixing these bad servers
(which might be a hard and many-year problem), perhaps the only real
solution is to have our clients sort the ciphers by security preference,
and then attempt multiple connections. Obviously that's not a quick fix!

I see 1.0.1-4ubuntu5 has hit proposed, so I'll give that a try right
now.
