Hi,
I just used Emacs built-in bug-reporting facility (M-x
report-emacs-bug RET) and among some other information this includes
the lossage, so if passwords are included in the lossage this is
definitely a security bug. I just tried that with Emacs 23.1.1 and I
can't confirm that bug, it looks like the lossage is flushed after the
password prompt finishes.
Geralt.
