Hi Koen,
that's bad. I don't have logging of username and password length here.
I'll try to work on this. You can try attached patch to extend logging
by username and password in the mean time and provide me the full
resulting log file? Please review whether there is no password and if
there is then please change it to fakepass.

Thanks,
Michal
