Ok, the fix is in CVS or for your patching enjoyment here's the patch:

[camber@amd133 tds]$ diff login.c login.orig
45,48c45
<       if (password) {
<               strncpy(tds_login->password, password,
<                       sizeof(tds_login->password));
<       }
---
>       strncpy(tds_login->password, password,sizeof(tds_login->password));

It seems to work for me anyway.
