I've attempted to regenerate self-signed certificates, and have not had any
luck getting the .NET client to connect.  I tried loading the certs in .pem
format, but that didn't work, apparently because .NET does not work well
with PEM files, so I converted them to .cer format, using the following
command:

openssl x509 -in <filename>.pem -out <filename>.cer -outform DER

I also converted the key .pem to a .p12 file, using the following command:

openssl pkcs12 -export -out keycert.p12 -in cert.pem -inkey key.pem -passout
pass:MySecretPassword

I'm not sure what the proper hostname should be, since everything is running
on localhost.  As mentioned in the tutorial, I am using the following .NET
client configuration to avoid any errors.

AcceptablePolicyErrors = SslPolicyErrors.RemoteCertificateNameMismatch

The port numbers are configured properly.  I can't say for sure, but it
appears that the record overflow is thrown when I attempt to serve a
certificate format that is not supported by the .NET client (e.g., PEM).

Thanks for your continued efforts.  Is there anything else I can try that
might provide more information, or hopefully come to a resolution?
