If a serial number file contains the 16-byte hex string sometimes you will get 16-byte and sometimes 17-byte serial number in the certificate depending on whether the sign bit is set or not.
1. Example of 16-byte hex number producing 16-byte serial: 47E9EA236B1E010F203BF76A8A7B3B5B results in: 47:E9:EA:23:6B:1E:01:0F:20:3B:F7:6A:8A:7B:3B:5B 2. Example of 16-byte hex number producing 17-byte serial: 8A7B3B5B47E9EA236B1E010F203BF76A results in: 00:8A:7B:3B:5B:47:E9:EA:23:6B:1E:01:0F:20:3B:F7:6A ^^ To me this looks wrong.
