It's possible to include a self-signed root certificate as an
intermediate and push Verify into a loop.

I already had a test for this so I thought that it was ok, but it
turns out that the test was void because the Verisign root certificate
doesn't contain the "IsCA" flag and so it wasn't an acceptable
intermediate certificate for that reason.
