If my password for a datasource has a # character, it will interpret that
as a comment and truncate the string.

I tested with java.util.Properties and it does not exhibit this behavior.

It seems CustomProperties#load(InputStream) does not follow the
java.util.Properties#load(InputStream) contract.

Here is a patch to fix this bug, but i think this method should create a temporary
java.util.Properties, call load() on this temporary props, then copy the read data
into "this". Thus, the usual contract (about the comments, blank links, encoded
characters, etc) will be respected.
