I tried with Ubuntu 7.10, Python 2.5.1, Twisted trunk at HEAD, OpenSSL
0.9.8e-5ubuntu3, pyOpenSSL 0.6-2.3ubuntu1.  I also tried with the
Twisted 2.5 release branch.  I don't have pyOpenSSL 0.7 handy at the
moment.  Maybe you could give 0.6 a try?  I can't think of any changes
between those versions that might be causing this, but one never knows.

Seems like the cert is probably fine, yea.  I'm attaching the one I tested
with so you can give it a try, though.

ssldump might tell you something, but you'll have to dig a bit and do some
interpretation.  And it might just end up telling you that the handshake
is failing.
