Hi.  Thanks for the report.  I can't understand why that would happen,
by reading the source.  Do you have a test-case to reproduce this?

The gnutls_x509_crq_export function is simple:

  return _gnutls_x509_export_int (crq->crq, format, PEM_CRQ,
				  *output_data_size, output_data,
				  output_data_size);

And by reading the code, _gnutls_x509_export_int seem to only return 0
or negative values.

Maybe you can help me by pointing out how gnutls_x509_crq_export ends
up returning positive values...?

Thanks,
Simon
