This is as amusing as ever, the "fight" between the standard as agreed
upon so long through RFC's and the "generally acceoted format"
standard as enforced by sloppy programmers.

Well, there are other places where OpenSSL is trying to work together
with buggy software, so I would guess a fix will appear.  On a
personal level, however, I'd prefer that we didn't, since that rids
the world of crapy software (or one could hope so).

*sigh*
