2583.0. "LOGIN screen crash..." by UTRTSC::CAHILL () Mon Apr 09 1990 06:10

Has anyone come across the following problem?

In the DECwindows login screen if you type 80 or so characters
for your username and the same for you password the session 
manager crashes with ACCVIO.

This is a customer problem (reproducable),has anyone any solutions,
reasons..

Thanks

	I assume that this is a followup to an official QAR/SPR/CLD??

	Why would someone want to have 80 character username/passwords?

    This is a very good question,the user in question (at a customer site)
    uses a cover on his keyboard and sometimes the keys get pressed by the 
    cover,this is how he found the "problem".
