I've a different fix for that, IMHO its the job of the caller to take care 
of that.

What is the problem with the code in current HEAD (I mailed the patch here 
some time ago) ?

Congratulations, you just added 2 additional virtual method calls for 
avoiding about 2-3 lines of code repetition. 

I don't think we should merge this. It might be marginally nicer, but it 
sacrifies speed.

interesting, we have that password-not-caching in HEAD, but we got a lot of 
complains about this. 

what is the idea behind skipping the session-state saving of secure forms?
this means that upon "back" when you mistyped something in your home banking 
you can start from scratch. 

the history is transient, when you close the window its gone.
