Hello again,

If anyone has any experience with OpenSSL on VxWorks
and can comment on this certificate strangeness, I'd
be very grateful. Why would OpenSSL on one operating
system be happy with my generated certificates, but
on another operating system, complain about them?

Debugging on this embedded platform is a large PITA,
which is why I'm hoping for some ideas from here.

Thanks.
