FWIW, I'm in the process of updating neon to the latest version and see the
same error in the latest neon test suite with
openssl-0.9.8h (the latest):
Write out database with 1 new entries
Data Base Updated
+ MKPKCS12='/usr/bin/openssl pkcs12 -export -passout stdin -in client.cert
-inkey client.key'
+ echo foobar
+ /usr/bin/openssl pkcs12 -export -passout stdin -in client.cert -inkey
client.key -name 'Just A Neon Client Cert' -out client.p12
4212:error:0D0BA041:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_STRING_set:malloc
failure:asn1_lib.c:381:
4212:error:0B08A041:x509 certificate routines:X509_ATTRIBUTE_set1_data:malloc
failure:x509_att.c:317:
The test suite worked fine with the previous version of neon (the
current in cygwin 1.5) and openssl-0.9.8g (current at that time).
