You're right. Fixed in r1396285 but I don't have a way to test it.

I don't know why our test suite didn't catch this; it should trigger
every time an encrypted password is read from disk on Windows. But maybe
the testsuite doesn't even test that.

Stefan, if you can verify that the fix works, I'll propose it for
backport to 1.7. I think, for a crash as basic as this one, we should
probably roll 1.7.8 as soon as the fix is confirmed.
