Sorry for the delay in responding--I was away from my computer this
week.

I've tested things on my system and everything seems to work fine 
there.  I've also checked the differences between 0.5.x and 0.6.9 and
there weren't any major changes made to the code that saves the
passwords with pages (HandlePostAttr), so there must be something
else going on here.  Do you have a URL where I can test this to
see what might be happening?
