Subject: 24.4; password management in sql-oracle

From: [email-masked]
Date: Thu, 09 Apr 2015 21:36:02 +0200

=============================================
Following issue in "sql-oracle" appeared with Emacs 24.4.1 on Windows. No problems with 24.3.1 on Windows.
Once connected to oracle, while changing user with the "connect" command, the word "password" is missing and the password is displayed as clear text!

SQL> connect devel@xe<enter>
my_entered_password_is_clear_text!

expected behavior:
SQL> connect devel@xe<enter>
password displayed as dots in the echo area
