It's actually a made-up 'worst case' scenario for a general password
checking section I was helping a co-worker work on.  The system he was
working in uses Perl on the back-end to do the check, but the regexp
enabled control box is limited to one line long.  I suppose I could try to
put the code I came up with on one long line... :)
