[Bug 771264] [NEW] error creating certificate which expires after 2038

[bitinerant]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openvpn

When generating a new certificate, if the variables CA_EXPIRE or
KEY_EXPIRE put the expiration date after 19-Jan-2038, then pkitool will
create a certificate which expires around 1902 and also corrupt
keys/index.txt so that the next certificate to be generated will receive
the error "entry nn: invalid expiry date" and fail.

** Affects: openvpn (Ubuntu)
