#17 Fix for password hiding pipe problems

[David Wood]

[ patch courtesy Yichen Xie ]

Hello,

Thank you for the password hiding code introduced in sqsh 2.1.4. There are two problems with this feature:

1) it assumes file descriptor 3 which breaks applications already using this file descriptor. One example is http://invisible-island.net/xterm/.

2) a hang is possible if the password is long but the pipe buffer is short.

The following patch was generated against 2.1.4 but it should apply cleanly against 2.1.5.
