Elmar,

We have just found the bug that was causing this.  The problem was that 
we were failing to copy the information out of a library static buffer 
before another call to the routine.  This bug will be fixed in the next 
release of Pine.

Thanks for the report!

Elmar,
Just to clarify further: this bug was related to changing passwords 
during a Pine session.
