[Bug 615468] [NEW] Invalid quantifier javascript error when creating account

[John Reuning]

Public bug reported:

Using the latest update (as of 9 Aug 2010) of UEC tools and web app, I
am unable to create an account with a password containing two adjacent
asterisks ("**").  The error message in firebug is:

invalid quantifier [plus some characters from the password string]
[Break on this error] function iRc(c,b){var a=(new RegExp(b)).exec(c);return a==null?false:c==a[0]}
https://[hostname]:8443/E1314E9CA21508A4E229BB13E2D0AF43.cache.html (line 2120)

It seems to happen with a double asterisk at the beginning, end, or in
the middle.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to Ubuntu cloud controller web url
2. Click on "Apply" to apply for account
3. Enter account information, including password with double asterisk characters
4. Click "Sign up"

The result is no error message in the web UI, just nothing happens.
Seeing the error message requires a js debugger.

Eucalyptus package version: 1.6.2-0ubuntu30.3
