Description
The following code should print "Password: " on the command line, then get user text input without displaying it on the screen.
import getpass
passStr = getpass.getpass("Password: ")
It does hide input initially, but on pressing Enter, it then writes the entire password to the screen. (Expected output is nothing at all).

That is utterly wrong.
However, I cannot reproduce this problem in oi_151a, using gnome-terminal with TERM=xterm or TERM=xterm-color and tmux with TERM=screen. This could have been resolved in a terminfo update. Please test this on oi_151a.

Closing as unable to replicate (works as per the described expectation on oi_151a5) and no feedback forthcoming.
