(ITS#6702) slappasswd prompts missing

Full_Name: David Gessel Version: openldap-sasl-server-2.4.23 OS: FreeBSD 8.1 URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (66.93.181.141)

Attempting to insert a hash of the root pw into slapd.conf with the command: # slappasswd >> slapd.conf yields a blank prompt, that is there is no feedback to prompt the user along the lines of: "Enter root password" and "Verify root password"

But entering the root password twice with no feedback (and blank characters for security, so completely blind) gets through the command successfully.
