Failing that does the file have an -----BEGIN and -----END lines? If it
has the word "CERTIFICATE" in there it may be either a certificate or a
PKCS#7 structure or something else. Try:

openssl x509 -in server.crt

Otherewise try changing CERTIFICATE to PKCS#7 and try

openssl pkcs7 -in server.crt -print_certs

Failing that can you mail it to me? This isn't a security risk because
the certificate is public knowledge: if your server is on the internet
it will be sent during every connection anyway and besides you said it
was a test certificate.
