	permanent-local after-change-functions + read-passwd == unusable
	minibuffer
Date: Wed, 02 May 2012 14:21:36 -0700

Place the following code in a file, e.g. /tmp/hork-emacs.el:

;; begin code to place in file:
(defun my-after-change-function (&rest ignored)
  "Sample no-op after-change function.")

(put 'my-after-change-function 'permanent-local-hook t)

(defun hork-my-minibuffer ()
  (interactive)
  (add-hook 'after-change-functions 'my-after-change-function)
  (read-passwd "Enter some text: ")
  (message "Your minibuffer should now be horked"))
;; end code to place in file

Run emacs -q -l /tmp/hork-emacs.el
Execute M-x hork-my-minibuffer RET <any text> RET

Afterwards, all minibuffer input will be rendered as '.'
characters, as if it were still reading a password.

This does not happen in Emacs 23.

Also note that the bug does not manifest if you simply
evaluate the code above.  It must be loaded from a file,
at least as far as I can tell (though I do not know why.)

One possible fix might be to have `read-passwd' remove
its lambda from `after-change-functions' in the unwind forms.

I have the same issue and it looks like like the same as #11392.

I can report it the next time it happens to me but is there anything I
can do ahead of time to make the report content more helpful?

I believe I've just installed a fix for it a couple hours ago.
