I tried 'foo': it fails twice, then works the third time. I repeated that process for three cycles, and it always works the third time only. I get exactly the same behavior with 'anoncvs', and also with 'password'. I get exactly the same behavior if I type 'a', then 'b', then 'c': the third time, it works. Even if I type nothing and only hit the Enter key, it works the third time. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?func=detailitem&item_id=104539> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Savannah-help-public mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers
