(Admittedly a silly thing to do...)

about-me needs yet another hack not to hang in some cases. When we provide 'passwd' with a new password that only differs from the old one in case, we get a message we don't expect, and hang.

The attached patch fixes this, I've requested a freeze break for users-admin, but I'm not sure that's worth it since the use case is pretty weird. So you may want to wait for 2.30 to be released.
