Bug #15769: php-4.0 crypt("abc") != php-4.1 crypt("abc")

From: php@8304.ch Operating system: linux PHP version: 4.1.1 PHP Bug Type: *Encryption and hash functions Bug description: php-4.0 crypt("abc") != php-4.1 crypt("abc") On the same system after upgrade, the result of crypt with only one arguments has another format: before (php 4.0.6) it was the standard 13 chars string, and now this md5-like hash is comming: "$1$ngOfu9A.$AoUUzzXjwxQiqKq7c2wDt1"... Shouldn't the default behaviour of crypt() stay the same on a specific system ? This way it breaks a lots of customers scripts on the web server on upgrade, and this is *very* annoying. (no, I can't tell all people: rewrite all your scripts and use 2 args with the crypt command). Isn't there a way to tell at compliation time: crypt() defaults to DES?
