Log an error if openssl fails to copy a key for us

This should never happen unless openssl is buggy or some of our
assumptions are deeply wrong, but one of those might have been the
cause of the not-yet-reproducible bug 1209.  If it ever happens again,
let's get some info we can use.

+     an error message and try to exit cleanly.  May help with debugging
