Just to update in case anyone else was tracking this, Frank has produced a patch that fixes the infinite loop issue.

http://fudforum.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fudforum?view=revision&revis ion=5471

Usernames containing "invalid" characters are still truncated, but at least the import script doesn't crash now

Unfortunately this fix breaks the code that appends [n] to the end of duplicate usernames.

The next number is appended after the previous number, so instead of "James[5]" the name becomes "James[1][2][3][4][5]".
If there are a lot of duplicates, or the original name is long, this ends up making the string exceed the max length, gets truncated, and add_user fails with a duplicate entry.
