[Bug 522294] [NEW] non-alphanumeric passwords don't work

[Boogie M. Notthingam]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: qgo

On trying to connect to IGS, I always would get:

Login: 
��

...send password
5 Invalid password.
��
1 0
Connection closed by foreign host.

After playing with settings and what not for a while, I found out it
happens when my password contains symbol characters (e.g. "!", "#"...).
Changing the "Codec" to UTF-8 or ISO 8859-1 didn't help.

Workaround: connect using telnet or other client and change your
password to something alphanumeric. V.g:

$ telnet igs.joyjoy.net 7777
Login: MyUsername
MyPa$$word

[...]
