I suspect the index.txt for the generated CA being not writeable/not
present. On rechecking the CA.all script I find it a bit fragile with
respect to local environments. As ist would be nice (judging from
numerous reports about problems users encounter due to certificate
issues) to provide a known (almost always) working set of generation
tools, I'm contemplating a few improvements just now.
