Hello Christoph,

I figured out what is happening. Attached is your user ID on squeaksource.com
exactly as it appears in the squeaksource image. When you entered your
author initials, the Unicode characters got converted into a 9-byte string.
SqueakSource maintains a dictionary of users, and this is the key to your
account in that dictionary. Your actual author intials are recorded
separately in your account information, and these appear as 'ct'.

This means that if you log in to squeaksource.com using 'c​t' rather
than 'ct' as your user ID, you will be able to log in successfully.

That leaves two problems:

1) Your author initials are the same as those of Christophe Tricot.
I don't know if this will cause problems or not, but you should be
aware if it in case of issues.

2) Using 'c​t' to log in to this repository is not very convenient.

I think that you may well be the first person to explore the concept
of using incomprehensible user names as a technique for authentication.
This might prove to be an exciting new frontier in computer security ;-)

Note, this bug in SqueakSource has been present since the beginning.
We had frequent problems with this back when squeaksource.com was
being used for classroom assignments. I had hoped that the issue
would somehow have been fixed when I updated squeaksource.com to
the latest sources, and ran it on a Squeak 5.3 image. Unfortunately
the problem is apparently still with us. I think that we do not see
it on our source.squeak.org server because it has a much smaller
number of user accounts, and no multibyte user IDs.

Dave

Speech is no longer part of the Trunk (I don't know why), I have no idea what is the best way to keep it in a maintainable state. Shall we readd it to the Trunk? Shall I make a separate GitHub repository for it? Open to your ideas. :-)
