>From the c_rehash manpage:

       c_rehash scans directories and takes a hash value of each .pem file in
       the directory.
       [...]

       Note that this program deletes all the symbolic links that look like
       ones that it creates before processing a directory. Beware that if you
       run the program on a directory that contains symbolic links for other
       purposes that are named in the same format as those created by this
       program they will be lost.

(The manpage is based on the source code, but you could argue it's 
documented behaviour)

The patch seems to be doing 2 things:
- Also look for .crt files
- Try with "-inform der"

I think that also looking for .crt files would be a good thing.

The default output is PEM, so I have no idea why you added der support.
This isn't a bad thing, but I think I'll rewrite the patch a little.
