My first guess is that openssl does not work correctly when
the length is not divisible by eight. Does this certificate actually
*work* ?
By the way, here's the complete factorization of the value of public
modulus that openssl displayed for you:
n = 3 * 5 * 57241 * 12383993 * 210729581 * 410582348475538789169 *
18407098556492221247192675798602715605959181357451244923
24539326945816755094904259832442996126042219267246106591
(Factoring a typical random 154-digit number only takes about fifteen
minutes of PC time nowadays using a decent ECM implementation)
Would you please send me this certificate, as I would like to play with
it with some other tools.
