Right. Should I file an ITS for it?

Of course... In such cases, a clearer message in the logs, like "File 
/path/to/key.pem not found" would help very much. Current single 
message: "main: TLS init def ctx failed: -1" does imply that something 
is wrong with TLS config, esp. if it was working before, yet a more 
specific message would be valuable. Perhaps one can increase debug level 
and get more info, but I feel standard messages should avoid being cryptic.
