I filled out the email form and sent it to address@hidden, but I haven't
heard anything yet.  My experience is that it takes a week or two for the
papers to get to Germany by post.  If I don't hear anything soon, I'll
write to the copyright clerk again.

output:

In `print_x509_certificate_info':

Changed

  char dn[128];

to

  char dn[256];

Same in `verify_cert2':

 char name[64];

changed to

  char name[256];
