  Sorry, I tried to refer to the forged 509 certificate which had a
signature made using MD5. That required more than 1 month IIRC, and a
cluster of PSP, which is something very few people can do... so for
"normal" people, it would be "unreasonable but feasible". I should have
been more clear about that.
