cert_thumbprint() already returns the accumulated output length, but
certificate_thumbprint_show() adds that value to count again, making the
next line use the wrong offset. Errors returned by cert_thumbprint() are
also ignored and their negative values added to count.

Assign the total length to count instead and propagate errors correctly.
