I've been discussing the issue of the problem with wildcard certificates and
IE5 with Damien Morrison of Thawte's technical support.

He informs me that as far as he knows, Windows 2000 with IE5 does not accept
wildcard certificates. Basically, wildcard certificates weren't acceptable
to IE3 (in fact IE3 does not accept any Thawte security certificates any
more, and there's probably more it doesn't accept either, eg Verisign). This
was fixed with IE4 and appears  broken again with IE5.

Good old Microsoft!
