SSL Hell

I've been fighting with an SSL issue now for over a week. I cannot get the web service to launch if I am using an external certificate. I consistently get the same error: [error] mod_ssl: Init: Pass phrase incorrect (OpenSSL library error follows) [error] OpenSSL: error:0D07207B:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_get_object:header too long I've had the certificate recreated using different pass phrases to make sure it wasn't a typo or a corruption. Everything works fine if I use a certificate that I create myself or if I say I want no certificate. Unfortunately for the business this is for, neither of those things is an option. I'm at a total loss. Anyone have any idea what I can do with this? Thanks.
