The comment points out a possible problem with pintest test program,
which should not affect the overall functioning of the pinpad, for
example through PKCS#11.
From the comment:
"The problem is that getpass will not return empty string if return
key is pressed on the computer keyboard."
From getpass(3) on Debian 6:
" The function getpass() returns a pointer to a static buffer
containing (the first PASS_MAX bytes of) the password without the
trailing new‐line, terminated by a null byte ('\0'). "
So the input should be a null string with getpass on Debian. But the
man page also tells that "This function is obsolete. Do not use it."
