So it appears that the parser treats a hashmark in one of the fields as 
a start of a comment and possibly discards the rest of the line. That is 
really annoying.

I found the following

Special Characters

Check passwords (chap-secrets file) for special characters ( # - 
Character in password breaks pptp). The admin password of the router is 
inserted into chap-secrets by default! --Krikkit 12:12, 7 Mar 2006 (CET) 
Special Characters work fine if you wrap the password with ". Example: 
test * "123456#" *
