+I'm unsure if we want to copy this behaviour as it could affect
+interoperability with other PKCS#12 implementations.
+
+I'll look at some other software using PKCS12 (and not depending on
+CryptoAPI). If everyone limits the password to 32 bytes (to be
+compatible with MS) then we'll (unhapilly) do it too. Otherwise this
+will ne noted in documentation (monodoc) and in the source code.
+
+Thanks for reporting the issue.
