getpass.getpass() bugged?

[super_banane at yahoo.com]

The getpass.getpass() function should
be requesting a password without echoing it...
but unfortunately it does:

>>> import getpass
>>> getpass.getpass()
Password: hello
'hello'
>>>

Python I use is v1.5.2
Same behaviour on Solaris 2.6 and HPUX-10.20.
Works fine with Python v1.5.1 on Linux, though.
