More than one person has already beaten us to the punch: bin/23501, closed on Fri Jun 22 08:43:09 PDT 2001, describes the exact same problem with pw(8), and contains a patch that was verified to fix the problem, but it was apparently never committed. bin/38676, submitted on Tue May 28 19:40:08 PDT 2002, requests that the original patch be committed, but has gotten no feedback.
