This worked well at first, but then my issue came back which is 
confusing to me, because I've run a number of tests making absolutely 
sure that Caps Lock is turned off and I wasn't touching the keyboard at 
all. Interestingly enough when AutoIT send a bad string, it always 
downcases the same letters (when "LMNIGHTLYHOSTNAME2007_5_25" is bad, it 
always looks like "lMNIgHTlyHOsTNAME2007_5_2") which makes me think that 
it's not related to input from the keyboard, which is likely to be 
different every time.
