--- Comment #1 from Vladimir Krstulja <vlad-fbsd at acheronmedia.com> ---
First of all, this is maintainer timeout, so a committer please look at the
issue.

The upstream is dead. This was reported many years ago with no resolution:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=544018

Gentoo has some fixes as well:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=258018

I vote for this patch to be added to FreeBSD, regardless of upstream. However,
there are reports about other chars being problematic in AuthPass as well:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=463196

Can this patch be reworked to include those too, while at it?
