Yeah, probably better to use \r instead of the ^M character directly.

That makes more sense.  But I don't think having ^M as a password prompt
regexp makes all that much sense, though -- surely there's no ^M
involved in prompting on non-Windows systems, and there you'll surely
find ^Ms all over the place, not just in password prompts?
