The patch seems broken to me:
X509_NAME_get_text_by_NID gets the "highest" one, not the leaf value.
In case of two common names, this is wrong.
So instead of
int l = X509_NAME_get_text_by_NID (X509_get_subject_name (cert),
NID_commonName, buf, sizeof buf);
one needs something like:
X509_NAME *name = X509_get_subject_name(cert) ;
if(name)
while((j=X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID(name,NID_commonName,i))>=0)
i=j;
