Hmmm.... when I mess up a server.crt file by just inserting a few garbage
characters I still get:
| [Tue Apr 6 14:47:42 1999] [error] mod_ssl: Init: Unable to read server
| certificate from file /tmp/apache-ssl/etc/ssl.crt/server.crt (OpenSSL library
| error follows)
| [Tue Apr 6 14:47:42 1999] [error] OpenSSL: error:0D06B078:asn1 encoding
| routines:ASN1_get_object:header too long
Even when I copy my FreeBSD /kernel file over the server.crt I do not see core
dumps (now a different error because no PEM headers exists, of course):
| [Tue Apr 6 14:48:46 1999] [error] mod_ssl: Init: Unable to read server certificate

| [Tue Apr 6 14:48:46 1999] [error] OpenSSL: error:0D09F007:asn1 encoding
| routines:D2I_X509:expecting an asn1 sequence
Additionally I see no bug in mod_ssl's loading code. So when it actually dumps
core it dumps core inside OpenSSL. That's not better, of course. But at least
I guess it's then related to your platform (Slackware 3.6), where a lot of
things are _known_ to be broken (like the NDBM library, etc).
