When editing a user, the input field for password is filled with a wrong password

           Summary: When editing a user, the input field for password is
                    filled with a wrong password
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.18
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Webapps:Administration
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: david.crosson@intranode.com


When editing a user, the input field for password is filled
with a wrong password, the password of another user. This bug
arise after tomcat is running for a long time. If I restart
tomcat, it disappears, there's no more password mismatch between
users until several hours, days or weeks.

If I commit changes, I saw the bug inside the tomcat-users.xml
file, edited users lost their passwords, with the password of
the same other user.

I didn't found yet the conditions that makes the mistmatch but
when it appears, only a restart of tomcat can correct it.

So I can't use the administration tool to edit user roles or full name
and have to stop the server, edit the tomcat-users.xml and then 
restart the server.

This bug is in release 4.1.29 also, and still in 5.0.18.

Thanks for all, I will continue for looking for the bug conditions,
and may be I will be able to help to correct it.
