+         *
+         * php mbstring extension can replace standard string functions with their multibyte 
+         * equivalents. See http://www.php.net/ref.mbstring#mbstring.overload.
+         *
+         * Some SquirrelMail functions work with 8bit strings in bytes. If interface is forced
+         * to use mbstring functions and mbstring internal encoding is set to multibyte charset,
+         * interface can't trust regular string functions. Due to mbstring overloading design 
+         * limits php scripts can't control this setting.
+         *
+         * This hack should fix some issues related to 8bit strings in passwords. Correct fix is
+         * to disable mbstring overloading. Japanese translation uses different internal encoding.
