Starting with version 1.1.0, the asn1parse has the -strictpem option to deal
with exactly this case.

I just submitted a pull request on GitHub which attempts to make RFC compliance
the default behavior and introduces a new '-inform b64' option for raw base64
parsing.

	https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/7320

I would be interested in your (the users) opinion about whether this should
become the new default in the future, or whether raw base64 parsing should
remain the default.
