The thawte certificates seem to be acceptable with XP but they
are no longer being accepted by Vista nor are they being accepted
by Microsoft for their Windows Crash Reporting service.  The problem
appears to be that only the Verisign Code Signing CA is now a trust
anchor for validating Authenticode signatures.

It looks like I will have to buy a cert from Verisign when the current
one expires.
