I was not, just false alarm.  Solaris' getpass() will return a string
with at most 8 characters, and my password had 9.  It's amazing that I
hadn't noticed that before...  I guess that's why SAMBA 1.9.18p10
would replace getpass on Solaris...

Unfortunately, I can't think of any way to detect, at configure time,
whether getpass() should be replaced or not, except using tools such
as expect or some other kind of pty controller :-(

Perhaps we should #define REPLACE_GETPASS by default, until we find a
work-around.
