 The bug (prompt vs login_prompt) is fixed in 8-CURRENT; however, this
 raises 2 points though:
 
 1. Stylistically, should all "login-*" references be replaced by
 "login_*" (I vote yes for consistency).
 2. While grep'ing the rest of the CVS tree I noticed that picobsd's
 login(1) suffers from the same issue mentioned in the PR. The catch is
 that I think that usr.bin/login/login.c and
 release/picobsd/tinyware/login/picobsd-login.c _SHOULD_ be merged to
 keep things consistent and to also make sure that any bugfixes made to
 usr.bin/login/login.c get propogated out to picobsd, or picobsd should
 be removed from the CVS tree as it's extremely out of date -- heck
 it's based off of 3.0, which was EOL'ed ages ago! Besides, there is
 the nanobsd project, which appears to be picking up better slack than
 picobsd is.
 
 2. should be discussed on a regular mailing list.
 Just my 2 cents.
