It is a proper file created by openssl and it reads in properly in openssl by the very
same routine that fails to read it in serv.cpp
The failure message right down to the line number appears to be identical to what
happens when I stuff a bad file into the
apps... but when I stuff what I think is a good file - then openssl reads it but serv
fails.
The cert file I'm using is attached. Pass phrase is "Terrell Larson"
Thanx.
