About this bug... The changelog for 1.4.2 says:

2003-09-26  Blake Matheny <bma...@pu...>
	* src/util/hash.c, src/include/util/util.h: Implemented CPU_getpass
	  which replicates the functionality of getpass but doesn't use a
	  static buffer
	* src/plugins/ldap/commandline.c: Use CPU_getpass instead of getpass

You said the bug has been fixed by this change, but it is not fixed in 1.4.2.
Is this because of some changes to CPU_getpass which are still in CVS only?

Thanks,

Guido
