The MongoDB tools execute themselves by first running ` mongo::runGlobalInitializersOrDie(argc, argv, envp);', then parsing their command line arguments. As the ssl arguments haven't been processed prior to initialization, the SSLManager cannot be brought up.

This manifests with an assertation failure, when it's discovered that the pointer to the manager is NULL:
