Well the 'smime' openssl application isn't really intended to be a full S/MIME
email client, rather an illustration of what can be done using the OpenSSL
S/MIME APIs and a useful diagnostic tool.

As such it's intended for a different target audience.

You also just happen to have been unlucky enough to pick the release which had
a nasty bug in it's S/MIME code.
