Okay well I have figured out the issue, so I will post my findings for
those out there who come across similar issues with this library. The
library assumes that the verifier is of type integer and if it is a
string will attempt to iterate through it causing the library to
produce an oauth_verifier parameter for each digit in the PIN number.
This was discovered via packet analysis made by Wireshark. Hope this
information is of use to someone.
