Ok.  What precisely about ASN.1 poses security 
problems beyond the implementation?  I'm surprised 
to hear that.  ASN.1 has been around for a long 
time.

The point of the original post is that ASN.1 posed problems even
in a coding culture that is, and has been, highly attuned to
security issues.

Dismissing this data point as merely the results of sloppy
programming seems dubious. There are likely greater lessons to be
learned here.
