xdm password problem & fix

[Atom Smasher]

xorg-clients-6.9.0_3
xorg-6.9.0
xorg-server-6.9.0_5
FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE

i just started playing with xdm, and on an account with a short password 
the xdm login works fine... but on an account with a longer password, 
login failed every time. i ggogled and found a few other people having the 
same problem but no fix.

attached is a patch (works fine in freeBSD ports) that seems to fix the 
problem.

DISCLAIMER: i suck at C. i don't even know enough to scrape by. i don't 
know if the attached patch will break anything or cause more problems than 
it fixes. it seems to work for me but i'd be grateful if a *real* C 
programmer could give me some critical feedback, or fix it for real.

thanks...

 	"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views
 	 confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the
 	 United States, in the Field of commerce and manufacture,
 	 are afraid of something. They know that there is a power
 	 somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so
 	 interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better
 	 not speak above their breath when they speak in
 	 condemnation of it."
