I use standard Jaunty.

The SIM card in my GSM modem has its PIN set to 12345. The "PIN code
required" dialog only has a four-digit entry field and does not accept
more than that. This problem makes this particular SIM card unusable.

Yeah, I could pop the card into any borrowed mobile phone and change the
PIN to something four digits long, but that's a very ugly workaround for
a problem that can be fixed trivially.
