Just wish one of us had ntoiced that earlier for you.  :)

Does anyone happen to know if this is a bug in Windows itself, or just in
the ipsec.exe parser? If it's in ipsec.exe, it'd be nice to get that
fixed.

I suppose one test would be to set up a tunnel by hand under Windows using
the cert.. but bleah, haven't done that for years.  :)
