Hi, 

I have a question about "Reduce the chances of duplicate 
issuer name and serial numbers (inch violation of RFC3280) 
using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities." described 
by "Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e." .

I understand that the chance of the duplicate of a serial number 
is reduced by making an initial serial number into a random 64-bit 
numerical value. However, it is in the state which the basis of 
leading to the management reducing the chance of the duplicate of a 
issuer name cannot understand to me. 

Would anyone explain a little in detail for me?

Thanks.

Takurou Saitou.
