Precise remedy. Problem cured. Thanks, Dr Martin!

Not exactly "fiddled". I haven't used this Iyonix for some while, so
recently upgraded it to 5.18 and then freshly installed Netsurf 2.9 on
it. Have been using 2.9 on RiscPC for yonks -- which explains why it
didn't show this baffling "certificate verify location" thing.

Perhaps the possible cure could be footnoted to the error message for
future patients.
