I've played with previous incarnations, and noticed that with the
latest update for 0.9.7-stable, I get 5305 bytes, while I get 5280
bytes with 0.9.8-stable.  I compared crypto/evp/bio_b64.c from both
branches, and there is virtually no difference, so the problem is
somewhere else.

I noticed something unusual about your file: the lines are 76
characters, when a PEM file usually (or at least by default when
output by OpenSSL) has 64 character lines...  I have no clue how
important that fact is, but I'm going to conduct some tests.

Cheers,
Richard
