Follow-up..

I did find a few sites that I had issues with, but mainly with secure  
website certificate login, and not just secure browsing with  
certificates. It was continually prompting me for a certificate to  
use, and ignoring the one I selected.
I deleted the public ca keys, and MIT certificate authority key. Re- 
obtained my certificates from the certificate download page, and all  
is well again.
