Re: WARNING: SMPP: PDU element <password> to long (length is 9, should be 9)

Let alone the fact that "too long" is not spelled correctly. At least in 
10 locations of the code. and i only checked 4 .c files.

I'm sorry for what i'm about to say, but it's a proven fact:
There is a vast amount of misspelling in both the old docs (that Stipe 
aspelled, good stuff), and throughout all the code comments that shade a 
very strong lack of credibility to Kannel.
Everyone can make a typo, but if Kannel is really an english-based 
product, there should be at least some being-elementary-school level of 
spelling on all the code.
The "english is not my mother language" is a feeble and worn out excuse 
for a development team that (all except Bruno, according to the first 
lines of the docs) is made of ceo's, directors, chiefs and the rest of 
the "upper class management positions" plethora.
