Sonia, I can't seem to reproduce this:

certutil -s "CN=kentuckyderby.red.iplanet.com O=BOGUS" Netscape, L=Mount,
ST=California, C=US -S -n kentuckyderby.red.iplanet.com -x -t Pu,Pu,Pu . -v 60
certutil -s: improperly formatted name: "CN=kentuckyderby.red.iplanet.coS"
jordan(262) echo $?
255

return value is still 255 (-1).

I will try to reproduce it, in the meantime I assign the bug to myself... The
thing I noticed is that I tried on Solaris and you tried on AIX.
