After sending a message to Ascend with my complaints and opinions in this matter, an Ascend support representative phoned me, and we sorted our thoughts out. They originally misunderstood the nature of this password prompt DoS vulnerability. I imagine they will take care of this problem in the next release of the pipeline firmware. I'll forward anything else relavent to BUGTRAQ.
