my Let's Encrypt certs "broken" overnight!

FreeBSD 10.3

I run a hobby web server, with a couple of small clubs that pay me for
hosting.

I had letsencrypt certs for most of the sites I host, and they were working
fine
until a recent upgrade -- either apache 2.4 or openssl changed and now
things are hosed.

An example:

I host www.njsbmwr.org.  I have a "test" URL for development,
njsbmwr.dudley.nu.
Both share the same certificates, or at least, they used to.

Now, if I uncomment the <VirtualHost *:443> section for www.njsbmwr.org,
apache throws an error and won't start.  If I comment the section out,
apache
is happy but www.njsbmwr.org doesn't serve https pages.

njsbmwr.dudley.nu has almost the identical <VirtualHost *:443> section, and
it
works fine as https://njsbmwr.dudley.nu

The apache error I get when I enable the <VirtualHost *:443> section for
www.njsbmwr.org is:

[Tue Apr 03 09:13:29.141783 2018] [ssl:emerg] [pid 49861] AH02572: Failed

Here's the <VirtualHost *:443> section that causes failure:

The ONLY difference between this section, that doesn't work, and the section
that DOES work is the ServerName line:

<     ServerName njsbmwr.dudley.nu
---
>     ServerName www.njsbmwr.org

More info:

pkg info | grep apache
apache24-2.4.33                Version 2.4.x of Apache web server
pkg info | grep openssl
openssl-1.0.2o,1               SSL and crypto library

I am mystified, and running out of ideas on what to try.

I suspect the openssl I installed from a package, because of this scary
warning
that the apache upgrade gave me:

Message from apache24-2.4.33:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!! mod_http2 on FreeBSD with OpenSSL from base results in a mostly !!
!! functionally unusable module due to lack of "Upgrade"           !!
!! capability in OpenSSL 1.0.1.                                    !!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can I re-install the openssl from base?  I want to revert
to that and see if it fixes my problems.

Thanks,
Bill Dudley
