Bug Description

I have a intermediate certificate signed by my own CA, which works fine on other systems.
but openssl (1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.11) installed with apt-get will always fails with "certificate signature failure"

but openssl binary compiled myself with the same version of code (1.0.1f), works.

so i wonder if this is a bug of openssl?

certificate details and version info is at https://gist.github.com/bearice/e2dd5d4245472e1b3992

I was able to reproduce your results but there aren't that many patches being applied at the moment and that makes the failure surprising. I didn't spot anything obvious in the certificates either but overall I think this bug needs a reproducer which covers the generation of the certificates because this is a very common worfklow and I'd be surprised it was completely broken without many people noticing.
