Weird, I had a line break problem with a Thawte certificate. The 
certificate usually looks like

--begin certificate---
xxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxx
yyyy
---end certificate---

and appeared like this in my browser. When I copied the certifcate from the 
browser (IE 4) into Notepad, the last line of the pasted certifcate was 
appended to the second last, ie.

xxxxxxxxxxxxyyyy

I had to manually insert a line break before the yyyy to make it work on 
Apache 1.3.4/mod_ssl 2.2.5. The long line made Apache crash. I didn't have 
a look at the received HTML source yet to see where the last line break 
was. It was certainly a bit confusing.

This may sound daft, but I had a similar problem with a key
sent from BT Trustwise (they are a Verisign partner in the
UK). The problem was a blank line between the last line of
the key, and the "end of certificate" line.
