Pretty certainly the latter, the table itself shouldn't have a problem
with many entries. Bro's current git version has a new option to
increase the BroControl timeout for print, but here's another thing
you can do to see the output:

Add this to your local.bro:

    event bro_init()
    {
        print SSL::root_certs;
    }

Get a small trace and run it through broctl's "process" command:

    broctl process path/to/trace

This will print all the certs to stdout (and then process the trace).

(Trace content doesn't matter; one of Bro's test traces will do, like
bro/testing/btest/Traces/web.trace).
