readRSAPublicKey was working fine now having trouble version 1.3

[eric s.]

So I had just been using the binary library and all my encryption was
working just fine. Then I needed to upgrade to the latest release so
I could talk to gmail and I downloaded the latest 1.3 release. Now
when I try to load my public key I get the following error. Has
anyone else had to deal with this?

Thank you,
Eric

Well... sort of fixed? I changed one line in readRSAPublicKey from:
arr[1].position = 1; // there's a 0x00 byte up front. find out why
later. like, read a spec.
to:
arr[1].position = 0; // there's a 0x00 byte up front. find out why
later. like, read a spec.

and it worked again. I have no idea why though.
