Oops! Aheh. Here we go:
`comint-watch-for-password-prompt' doesn't try to come up with a pretty
prompt in
GNU Emacs 20.7.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.8, X toolkit) of Mon Feb 19 2001 on steel
, and so the bug does not manifest there. However, both
GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (i386-msvc-windows98.2222) of 2001-10-22 on buffy
and
GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of
2003-04-29 on quattro
generate that prompt and so do experience the bug.
Of course, we now have another (trivial) bug: comint.el's maintainer
list...
