I need to compare the contents of a working and non-working certificate -
my suspicion is that theres something off about the ASN.1 encoding of the
certificate that causes netscape to barf (IE will apparently still read it
fine, or it can at least for some people's certs).

Install the converters/dumpasn1 port, and run the following on your
certificate.pem file:

openssl asn1parse -in cert.pem -out cert.der
dumpasn1 cert.der > cert.out

and mail me cert.out. Do this for both certificates if you have a working
and non-working one.
