Unusual certificates

[Angus Robertson - Magenta Systems Ltd]

A client is having problems reading Polish Centum issued personal
certificates with OpenSSL 1.1.1, which read OK with 1.1.0 and earlier,
mostly.  

Using PEM_read_bio_X509 with some of these certificates says
error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0), while the X509 command line
tool says 'unable to load certificate'.  Some certificates work with
both methods.

Using the asn1parse command from any version of OpenSSL says 'Error:
offset out of range', while a Javascript based web tool is able to
decode the ASN1, but is perhaps more tolerant of errors.  

So it seems there is something in the creation of these certificates
that OpenSSL has never liked, but until 1.1.1 was tolerated
sufficiently to allow them to be read.  

This certificate reads OK in 1.1.1 but fails asn1parse:

Is there a more tolerant way to read ASN1 than the asn1parse command?
