Hi.  I don't have X.690 in front of me, but I'm pretty sure the sanity checks
will fail on several UTC strings.  

I found this description, which I think is correct:
An ASN.1 UTCTime object may represent any coordinated universal time or
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) value. An UTCTime value specifies the calendar date
(year, month, day: YYMMDD), the time value (hours, minutes and optionally
seconds: hhmmss) and the time zone respectively time-shift: Z denotes that the
local time corresponds to GMT, a time-shift is indicated by +/- <time value>.
