Thanks for the followup. Actually, I'm going to leave the bug open, but "Incomplete".
If you can produce another, second password (that doesn't give anything away about your other password) that I can use to reproduce this problem, I'll work on a fix. Note the particulars of the printf builtin function in dash/bash. That might help you figure out the problem. Using a double-quote could probably introduce problems. I'll look at that.
