Description Mark Browning 2008-02-28 21:39:17 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The typo in the source code causes the GUI to hang indefinitely when the user enters a palindrome for a password.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Attempt to change password
2. Type in a palindrome such as panamanap or toot
3. Press 'Change password' or enter


Actual results:
The application appears to be working in the background indefinitely, waiting for a case that will never come.

Expected results:
The GUI should display an error message and allow the user to input a different password.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

        "palindrome" that would make us wait forever when that case occurred
