We have run into a 'funny' when using the password_modify

get an unexpected result in trying to set a password. The password
used had a '£' (British Pund Symbol) in it. The server accepted the
password but would not allow the use of the same string to log in. I
suspect that the passwords are being 8th bit stripped. Is this
possible, correct, and what should happen?
Is there any facility to set a Unicode string as a password. If so
what format (UTF-8, UTF-16[BE|LE], ...) should it take.

I have made this work by switching off 7-bit clean, and changing the
password complexity so that the minimum of each class is zero and there
is a requirement for 3 classes. BUT there is a definite bug in the 7-bit
clean interface as it removes the 8th-bit and does not reject the
request when setting the password. I would have expected a code 19 -
Constraint violation in this case.
