HTTP Access Password Field Problems (with '$')

[hlef]

Hi,

I'm the debian maintainer of the spambayes package, and I received the following bug report (available online here).

Original bug report

The http access password (but not the imap password) field does not seem to be able to handle a '$' anywhere but as the first or last character.

For example:

Input: $bc
Results: Options changed. Return Home.
Input: a$c
Results: 'a$c' is not a value valid for [Interface Options] Password
Input: ab$
Results: Options changed. Return Home.

Note: There is nothing special about the length or which character location, other than first or last, that the '$' is in.
