Bug#868501: tinyca2: fails to parse subject DN when whitespace surrounds '=' token

[Rob Leslie]

Package: tinyca
Version: 0.7.5-6
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/tinyca2
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

I discovered that tinyca2 fails to properly parse the subject DN of
certificate requests when they are formatted with extra whitespace around
the '=' token, e.g. C = US, ST = California, ...

The attached patch corrects this problem.
