Root Certificates compromised:
The version of IE 4.x for the Macintosh (no other platform) ships with
both the old and the new roots. To get it to work, you need to delete
the old root. In your security preferences, find the Thawte Server CA
roots that expired in 1998 (there should be two of them). Delete them.
If you are asked for a password, leave it blank. Do NOT delete the
newer roots which expire in 2020. You will now be able to connect
cleanly.
