I eventually read enough of the Tomcat source code to recognize
what was happening.  Here's the explanation.

We had a <Connector> for https that defined both protocol="TLS" and
sslProtocol="TLS".  That was an error.  Tomcat was trying to create an
instance of CoyoteConnector for protocol TLS, but that class only 
recognizes
protocols HTTP/1.1 and AJP/1.3.  So Tomcat created a null protocol handler
for the connector.  Once I removed the protocol attribute, which made it
use the default protocols HTTP/1.1, all was well.

All of our backup copies of the configuration files contain the incorrect 
attribute, so it
seems like it should never have worked.  I don't understand why it once
did, but I'm happy to have it working again.
