It was actually an upgrade from rc12 to rc14; I am 13-phobic. I'll just 
apologize and say that I don't keep old stuff around. I upgraded to rc14 that 
night and deleted rc12 that night. It doesn't take much to rebuild back to a 
previous version so I did take some time just now to rebuild rc12 (on the 
same machine, etc) and for what it is worth:

(gdb) x 0x804d7a0
0x804d7a0 <login_process_input>:        0x81e58955

I hope this helps.
