 If you use [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-
 includes/user.php#L1400 wp_update_user] to insert/update a user and you
 pass in the users password (user_pass) then the password gets hashed in
 wp_update_user and then gets hashed again when wp_insert_user is called
 further down.

 So I think line 1419 of /wp-includes/user.php needs to be removed as not
 not hash the password.

 In fact what is the point of wp_update_user? when wp_insert_user seems to
 do exactly the same thing CORRECTLY.

 This is the same for all versions of WordPress since 2.0 I reckon.
