Password with backslash causes silent errors

[1100101]

Using inadyn 1.99.9 (and 1.98.1 before that), I recently changed my DynDNS password. The newly generated pw had a backslash in it (more precisely a backslash followed by an equal sign).
The credentials were stored in a configuration file for inadyn.
inadyn seems to strip the backslash character from the password, making it shorter than it actually is.
This results in the wrong base64 string being calculated.

Interestingly, with the unmodified version if inadyn, the DynDNS server would always reply with "good 127.0.0.1", and the host would not be updated.
Playing around with the User-Agent string, I'd only then get "badauth" responses from members.dyndns.org.

OK, will look into it. Probably need to add escaping of \ ...
