SSL not initialized properly in a server section containing a syntax error in the server_name directive

Hi Igor,

The below configuration causes SSL not to be initialized for that server 
section, silently.   nginx listens on the port but rejects SSL 
connections as "client sent invalid method while reading client request 
line ... " as shown by the error log file, which was put in debug mode 
to figure this out.

Tested with version 0.6.31.

server {
    listen x.x.x.x:443;
    server_name hostname.com  <- notice the lack of ;

    ssl on;
    ssl_protocols SSLv3 TLSv1;
...
}

Thanks
