For some strange reson zMUD does that with bpl16, it is sending extra
carriage returns after sending the password or trying to type in the
password more than once.  Anyone have any idea why it does this or
experience the problem with a different client or bpl?  Any ideas on
weather it's a CircleMUD bug or a bug in zMUD?

It's rather annoying to me also, the only reason I haven't bothered
looking into it yet is because the MUD that recieves the majority of my
attention is bpl14 and doesn't have that problem.
