    I bet too that this is happening. Some telnet/ftp/http conection use %20
    as white space and %16 looks like an ASCII control char.

    In the other hand, I can tell that this kind of behaviour is strange,
    because I used to have a password with char "%" inside and nothing
    strange happened, maybe because the previously and next char where
    simple alphabetical characters, not numbers.

    Can you try with something like Ct%I6+X ( an uppercase i in place of the
    one digit ) and tell us in the list ? TIA
