I missed the '&' before may_save_password in the following code:

<snip>
                       SVN_ERR((*b->plaintext_prompt_func)(&may_save_password,
                                                           realmstring,
                                                           b->prompt_baton,
                                                           pool));

</snip>

hence, I came to this conclusion. Sorry for the noise :)

Yes I perfectly agree with you. Unfortunately I am unable to reproduce this in
my box today! Is googlecode.com the only way?
