I've just updated the root certificates in the hope that this would
stop the certificate errors, but it doesn't appear to have made any
difference.  I get about six here identical which all need to be
accepted.

After that the page displays fine however I'm unable to log in:
Operation timed out after 30000 milliseconds with 27836 out of 27836
bytes received.  (the second 27836 is sometimes -1)

I'm getting the same problem (without the initial certificate errors)
when trying to log in to PayPal.

The accept certificate crashing appears to be RISC OS-specific.  The
SSL logon timing out... may well just be me, but it's a bit odd that
browsing secure sites works and it is only the logon failing.
