changeset 28500:8464e695c62b

Fixes a bad MSN bug where passwords with multi-byte utf8 characters near the 16 byte mark would cause a segmentation fault due to chopping the multi-byte character and turning the string into invalidate utf8. Thanks to Shaun Lindsay at Meebo for tracking this down and fixing it.
