I can reproduce it - and there's definitely a "\n" in the user name. I
got it into the username by using the java ProcessBuilder class and then
calling it. I couldn't do it via the command line, so I guess it's only
possible when directly starting a mercurial process from java - they
probably use some native C-Code to pass the parameters.
