 Current workaround (for Windows users)
 1. Import the SPC file (double-click) in the certificate manager;
 2. Export the new certificate(s) in .DER format;
 3. Execute CER2SPC (Mono or MS version) to construct a SPC file encoded
 "properly" ;-)

+Supporting the undefined length doesn't fit very well with the current
+recursive algorithm. This will need some refactoring...
+
+So for the time being the class has been updated to throw an
+NotSupportedException in the case it encounters (1d20 ;-) an undefined
+length.
