Comment (by vinc17):
The {{{X509_NAME_oneline}}} documentation is ambiguous: it does not say
that its output is null-terminated if the number of characters reaches the
buffer size, and according to https://langui.sh/2016/01/29/x509-name-
oneline/ it isn't in such a case. I've fixed the code in
r6872:db13010a2e8d.
To avoid the truncation, it is also possible to ask the library to do the
allocation by providing a null pointer, but it is not clear how to free
the memory ({{{free}}} or {{{OPENSSL_free}}}?), and anyway, a truncation
is acceptable in a debugging message. Ditto for the fact that the use of
{{{X509_NAME_oneline}}} is "strongly discouraged".
