Comment (by dd32):

 > 13839.2.diff  still doesn't allow apostrophes in a password, resulting
 in "Error establishing a database connection".

 I had to edit the patch to remove some other changes, so I must've removed
 too much in the process.

 I'm not really happy with the patch to start with, the changes to wp_die()
 are half-baked in this patch, the refactoring in #18180 is really needed
 IMO.

 I'm going to rework the stripslashes()/addcslashes() changes specifically
 from the patch and go from there I think, That'll at least fix this
 tickets main issue. For consistancy, We should probably apply this to the
 Hostname and the Prefix as well (as noted in #18180) even although
 Apostrophes should never be in a hostname.
