Why don't you spin through the file in the two machines and determine if they are (1) the eact same length and (2) if their contents match.
While I have not been doing openssl programming for a while I am a programmer and that would the 1st thing I'd check. You should look for byte ordering as well. You would not actually have to run a MD5 checksum but it would be ok to do so. I can offer you a little C hexdump routine if you need one. I think it might even be on my website. However you could simply write a little C program to read them in and then use printf() and it might give you an idea what you are up against. Endian issues are not likely to be the issue. Whatever it is it will likely be a little more subtle.
