My school just renewed their VeriSign Class 3 web site certificate,
and it has the same problem:

The only think that struck me as odd was that the CA certificate
doesn't seem to include the "CN" attribute. Only this
and a few other VeriSign CA certificates are missing this.
I thought the CN attribute was required?
