Bug reference:      4882
Logged by:          Dustin Parker
Email address:      dparker@forwardslope.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.3.7
Operating system:   Windows XP Professional, SP3
Description:        One-click installer crashes with certain service account
passwords
Details:

createuser.exe is invoked by the PostgreSQL one-click installer (maintained
by EnterpriseDB) to create the service account.  When using passwords with
percent signs, creatuser.exe crashes inside a formatted-printing routine.

validateuser.exe suffers from this same problem.

Workaround: for every literal percent sign in the desired password, the user
must type two percent signs.
