> 
> In shell mode, doing a sudo prompts for the password. This will usually use the minibuffer to prompt for your password, and not echo it such that others can see it. However, after aquamacs has been up for several days, the behavior changes and the password is echoed directly in the shell window. I'm not sure what triggers this condition -- it could be related to either putting the computer to sleep and waking it again, or possibly due to switching the network connection (from wired to wireless)?

Sorry, I don't think we can do anything with this information.
If it happens again I suggest checking the global and buffer-local
values of comint-output-filter-functions.
comint-watch-for-password-prompt should be on the global value.
Maybe some package is clobbering the global value rather than setting a
buffer-local one.
