It's tempting to have crypt(3) return something like `XXinvalidsalt'
when it's fed garbage.
Unfortunately, given the lack of proper exception handling in C,
there's really very little else it can do, besides taking a wild stab
at it (like it currently does) or perhaps dumping core (which would
confuse people and make them think there's a bug in the library).
Sigh.
