Windows 98 SE Logon password security hole

With profiles enabled under win98se and using the microsoft client for login, if 
you pick a valid name of a user on the system, type in the incorrect password, press 
OK, then it will prompt you again for the correct password, then just press cancel, 
you will be logged in as that user.
It will say the user's name in the start menu as Log Off Jezerr ....
and also states it in the System Information tool.
Has anyone else seen this or have a fix.
Please try this on your system and see if it is not just a bug with the 5 computers 
or so that I've tried it on, all with windows 98se
