C00000BE hack-around

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

ok.

jeremy's fixed this in 2.0.2, i've fixed it in main branch.  could people
please attempt to download the latest cvs (and try a password change if
you have nt 4 sp3) and test it?

if you are using cvs main branch be warned: you may get a BSOD when
logging in, i have *no* idea what is causing this!
