Yes I realized that. However it won't blow up for the demo. I am happy.

Well, the actually won't work correctly: 0x10 != 10  Most likely in your
case
you have more information about the cert that is used if search by serial
number 
fails. But it's just an acident :(

Thanks a million. Turns out that any "hex" characters in the serial number

(e.g. 1D) will cause the problem. Certs with only numbers in them work.

Thanks again,

The problem is caused by incorrect conversion of a big integer to a string.

Instead of using base 10 the function incorrectly used base 16. Thus you'll

get incorrect numbers sometime. This function is used in writing

<dsig:X509SerialNumber/> thus you got it only when you've used this node in

your template.

Thanks,

  Is there any specific characters that cause or are affected by this 

problem ? I don't get it for many schemas and documents ?

I have a demo tomorrow and was wandering if I could work around it ?
