Strangest bug I’ve ever discovered

I have just accidentally discovered a very strange bug (or feature?) on a snom phone.

It affects 8.7.5.35 firmware and possibly others.  When tested on firmware 8.7.5.13 this doesn’t occur.

If you set up a SIP account, any SIP account (doesn’t even have to be a real working one) and the SIP password contains the word “monkey”, you get the following error message and the account will not work:

I have informed Snom about this.  I’ve never had a customer reporting this problem, it is just funny.
