Which attributes of the certs need to be the same; and which attributes need
to be different?

I initially created certs for both the server and client with the exact same
parameters and received an error while creating the client cert (TXT_DB
error number 2), apparently because its attributes were identical to the
server's cert.

Then I created a server key with a commonName of something like
'OpenVPN-Server' and then used 'OpenVPN-Client' for the client's cert.

When I test the connection using the custom-tailored sample configs from the
release notes, the TLS handshake fails, and the server spits out "Error:
Windows resource limit WSA_MAXIMUM_WAIT_EVENTS (64) has been exceeded"
errors while the client reports "TLS Error: Unroutable control packet
received from ip.address.of.server:port (si=3 op=P_CONTROL_V1)".
