Joe,

This is very interesting.  Is smbpasswd linked against readline?  (ldd `which
smbpasswd`)  It looks to me that there's something wrong with the library
smbpasswd is using to query the password from stdin -- it's not the hashing
algorithm that's the problem, it's the input to the hashing algorithm that's
causing trouble.

FWIW, I also can't reproduce this error on my system (RedHat 6.x, readline 2.2.1).
