Solved. Thanks, Mounir. Changing my PEM_read_bio_RSA_PublicKey() to
PEM_read_bio_RSA_PUBKEY() did the trick. I don't understand why there are
two of these, but I'm new to OpenSSL, so I won't complain about that which I
don't sufficiently understand.

Thanks for the response, but adding the -pubout switch did not change
anything. Actually, I had already been using it, but forgot to type it in my
email. Just to make sure though, I recreated the keys and tried again with:
> openssl genrsa -out rsaprivatekey.pem 2048
> openssl rsa -in rsaprivateke
Hi,
Your command line that create the public key is missing the -pubout
switch that tells the rsa utility to output a public key. So, this
command should look like : openssl rsa -in rsaprivatekey.pem -out
rsapublickey.pem -pubout . Without it, it will just output the private
key as is.
