Why not just (send-invisible (or pw ""))?

Guys, I don't maintain comint.el anymore so this report would be best
dealt with by whoever does now. Davis, what version of Emacs is this?

If, when using `comint-watch-for-password-prompt' as an output filter,
the
user quits at the pretty password prompt it provides, the `nil' that
`comint-read-noecho' returns causes `send-invisible' to prompt again
with
the generic "Non-echoed text: ", which is confusing. However, if the
user
quits again, this time it displays "Warning: text will be echoed"; this
is a good thing, so it would be bad to just make
`comint-watch-for-password-prompt' do (and pw (send-invisible pw)).
Some
merger or refactoring is evidently needed (which I'd be glad to attempt
if
desired).
Happy debugging,
Davis Herring

Oops! Aheh. Here we go:
`comint-watch-for-password-prompt' doesn't try to come up with a pretty
prompt in
GNU Emacs 20.7.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.8, X toolkit) of Mon Feb 19 2001 on steel
, and so the bug does not manifest there. However, both
GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (i386-msvc-windows98.2222) of 2001-10-22 on buffy
and
GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2003-04-29 on quattro
generate that prompt and so do experience the bug.
Of course, we now have another (trivial) bug: comint.el's maintainer
list...
