Actually, if I ignore the 2nd and 3rd where the server was obviously not 
working right, the new failures are all specific to a subset of the 
tests I run on my VMware Windows 7 VM.

If I open https://test.winehq.org/tests/hello.html in Internet Explorer 
I get an error telling me:

  | The certificate has been issued by a certification authority that 
  | isn't recognized by Internet Explorer. Phishing sites often use fake 
  | certificates that trigger this error.


>From one day to the next a different subset of the configurations gets 
the error. I suspect it has to do with the VM's clock getting outdated 
despite the fact that updating the VM clock does not help right away, 
and despite all the certificates in the chain being valid both when the 
snapshots were taken (2019-09-20) and now.
