The first number signals an index clash, as you guessed. If you look in crypto/txt_db/txt_db.h, you'll find the whole set of error numbers. The two other numbers are the record indexes of the two records that clashed. Since the database is essentially a text file (although it's treated like a binary file?!??), I think those can be seen as line numbers.
What version of OpenSSL do you use?
I use "OpenSSL 0.9.7c 30 Sep 2003". The two clashing record are:
V 040302103846Z 016C unknown /C=DE/O=Technische\ Universitaet Berlin/OU=Auth/CN=1690.000000065cf1/emailAddress=no.mail
V 040219082633Z DF unknown /C=DE/O=Technische\ Universitaet Berlin/OU=Sign/CN=Marc-Andre.Grimm/emailAddress=no.mail
I wonder why they clash. It's not severe, because these all are merely test certificate, but nevertheless I'd like to know the reason.
