CS_ROOT=/home/csuite LANG={en,fr} CS_DIST=/home/tmp/csdist

Short Desc:
Choosing a poor password during the registration fails correctly, but going back 
to chosse a better password, (resubmitting the form), gives the user a new login 
id.  The problem is with the reloading of the form.  Simply ^R on this step will 
cause the same result, (this step being ar-memopt).

This occurs in both languages.


Long Boring Desc:
Registering for an account, the user chooses their password:

>                                                    
>     * Your Login ID is: aa006                                
>     * Your email address is: aa006@landon.chebucto.ns.ca                
> 
>Select your Initial Password

>   Initial password: __________
>   Re-input password: ____________________
>                                                                      
>   Please Note: This information is required to use your new account.
>   Make sure you remember or safely record this information.
>     _________________________________________________________________
>     
>   When you are ready Submit Form to Continue Registration
>   To start again: Clear the Form

But, choosing a bad password and we get the "Go back and choose a better 
password" screen:

>   First and second new passwords do not match! Go back and try again.
>     _________________________________________________________________

Trying to go back with the back arrow will ask us to resubmit (y/n)?  We want an 
account so we have to choose yes, but this sets us up with a whole new account!:

How To Repeat:
Follow long desc above.


Not to be continually negative, but a shell account somewhere and a long night 
and someone could use a large number of the Login ID's.
