If I'm reading that message right, the "hex string is too long" error
message is the correct error message, so I don't see a need for changing
anything. 617364696f69636a61736f3932336b3b is 32 chars and
617364696f69636a61736f3932336b3b0a is 34 chars, and only the latter one
gives that error message.
Perhaps you should consider feeding openssl keys of correct length only.
