Password Parsing Bug?

[Bruce E. Lichius]

This is truly a wonderful program!  Thank you so much for it's creation!

I have found what I believe to be a bug in the password routine of the Win32
version(s) of the VNC Client / Server.  If you use a period in the password
everything after (and including) the period is ignored.

For instance ... if you set the Password in the server to:

one.two

Then if you enter the passwords below into the client the results are as
follows:

If you enter	Result is
------------      ---------
one.two		Access Granted
one.three		Access Granted
one.purple		Access Granted
one.			Access Granted
one			Access Granted
two.one		Access Denied
on			Access Denied
onetwo		Access Denied
onethree		Access Denied

Of course ... only the first example should grant access.

Just letting you know,
Bruce
