I tried to apply the patch with the IDE "apply patch" window for the 
first time. It worked, but the patch dialog has many bugs: it opens in 
the "/home" directory, it does not refresh the bottom editor correctly, 
and applying the patch twice seems to be possible.

As for the contents of the patch:

+  If $hSession.LastCode = "334" Then Print "LastAnswer = "; 
$hSession.LastAnswer

What's that? A debugging thing?

+ sCommand = "echo -n '" & sChallenge & "' | openssl md5 -hmac " & "'" & 
sKey & "'"
+  Shell sCommand To sDigestHex

Quotes are not enough in a shell command if the quoted string already 
contains a quote.
