applied your patch to the version just uploaded to unstable, even though
there are still likely cases where it will hang. i didn't close the bug
since there are outstanding issues.

i am curious if this line is a good idea, though:

@@ -256,7 +261,6 @@

     seen = expect(fd, 30.0, "updated successfully", NULL);
     if (seen == 1) {
-        bzero(ldminfo.password, sizeof ldminfo.password);
         return 2;
     }

by removing that line, is it leaving the password sitting in memory?

live well,
