CMD_API_DATABASES root database password bug?

Hello all,

Needing to use the DA API to automate creating databases, I came across something that feels like a frustrating bug:
Using the API in a way comparable to http://example.com:2222/CMD_API_DAT...b&user=newdb&passwd=password&passwd2=password seems to do the trick: The database is created successfully and I can log into it using the user and password for the database, but the overall root database account password seems to have changed (the one used to connect to any of the db's in the account, i.s.o. a particular one). Using the HTM_PASSWD option in the DA Control Panel, I can reset the database to the previous password, but, of course, this renders the use of automated db creation useless.

Does anyone have any ideas about this strange behavior? Tips on a possible work around would be highly appreciated.
