Subject: Problem setting up heroku: "Unable to verify SSL certificate for api.heroku.com"

Hi all.  I'm trying to deploy a test app up to heroku.  I've got a
github account, set up with keys (ie i can do ssh git@github.com ok).
I've set up a heroku account on heroku.com.  I'm following the tutorial
here:

http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/quickstart

and am at step 3.  I do "heroku create" and get the prompts for my
heroku username and password.  I enter these, and then get the following
back:

>>  WARNING: Unable to verify SSL certificate for api.heroku.com
>>  To disable SSL verification, run with HEROKU_SSL_VERIFY=disable

I've googled for this warning and can't see anything about it anywhere.
I then googled the HEROKU_SSL_VERIFY option and found this page which
talks about "piggyback ssl".  But this is talking about adding ssl to an
app, and i don't even have any apps yet.

Step 2 in that tutorial says "You will need to generate a public SSH key
and upload it to Heroku. ".  I don't know how to do this - would this be
done automatically as part of the failing step 3 above?

Basically i'm confused and stuck.  Any ideas anyone?
thanks, max
