Password Change

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

david, are you using a non-intel-byte-alignment processor (e.g sparc?)
if yes, matt could you look into those unicode string issues.

david please send us a password change from a TEST account NOT a real
account.  recompile with -DDEBUG_PASSWORD and then set log level to 100.

thanx!.
