I have no strong opinion about the maximum length of password,

for this problem.
Also IMO the more problematic thing is that psql silently truncates
the password specified in the prompt into 99B if its length is
more than 99B. I think that psql should emit a warning in this case
so that users can notice that.
I think we should be using a macro to define the maximum length, rather
than have 100 used in various places.
+1 as the first step for this issue. The patch that I mentioned
upthread actually does that.
