I filled out the email form and sent it to assign at gnu.org, 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.

My Savannah user name is lfinsto1.  I won't commit anything on an existing
branch until you say it's okay and the paperwork is done.

Okay, I'll have to look at how you do this.

as long as I'm writing:

The `char' arrays for DNs in a couple of functions from your sample
programs were too short for the DNs in my certificates, so nothing was
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];
