How seriousness this bug is is a matter of perspective. The SIM card will lock up and become unsable after several unlock attempts (10) with a wrong private unlock key (PUK).

The PIN and PUK codes seem to be entered in the same place and, as far I can see in the executable and source, it is limited to 4 digits:

Fragment of code found in applet-device-gsm.c
...
 *out_secret_entry = GTK_ENTRY (w);
 gtk_entry_set_max_length (GTK_ENTRY (w), 4);
 gtk_entry_set_width_chars (GTK_ENTRY (w), 4);
...

I discovered this problem since my mobile broadband pccard Huawei E600 cannot be used with network-manager 0.7 although it otherwise works in GNU-Linux.
