Use subject from issuer certificate instead of its issuer #13

I've been testing the creation and validity of a chain of root.pem -> intermediate.pem -> user.pem certificates and found that I was receiving errors when verifying the chain validity with openssl verify -CAfile <(root.pem, intermediate.pem) user.pem. After inspecting the certificates, I noticed that the issuer of user.pem was set to the subject from root.pem. After applying this change, the call to openssl verify passed.

Oops, thanks! I'm afraid there might be some more glitches like that, due to incomplete test coverage. I'll try and find some time to do some quality control...
