Bug#387205: xdm password length limit
Package: xdm
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1
Severity: important
xdm has a password length limit of 32, as seen in
xc/programs/xdm/greeter/Login.h
Note that I'm not sure about the version, since I run some backports stuff,
but the source was from sarge, not backports.
And don't say "nobody needs passwords that long", because that's wrong for
several reasons.

} me_t;
