8 character password limit

[Derek R. Price]

Has anyone ever seen a problem with CVS handling passwords longer than 8
characters?  I found a message in the archives which references a
problem Larry Jones said he fixed some time ago but which he said only
occurred on Sun servers and I have definitely encountered this problem
accessing a 1.10.7 CVS server, I think it was, running on Linux, but
I never had shell access to the server so I couldn't study the install.

Anyway, I can't find anything obvious in the code that could cause this
and I can't reproduce it with a 1.11.1p1 client/server combination on
Linux, but I thought someone else might have some insight as to what
causes (or caused) it?
