I'm not aware of any either, however OpenSSL's ASN1 code is used to
encode all manner of structures some private so I can't rule out that case.

I've applied a fix in a different way so OpenSSL can tell if the
ASN1_TIME structure is reused. This now correctly generates CRLs with
dates outside the UTCTime range.
