Assuming that we're encrypting passwords with crypt(), wouldn't it be
best to set it to 13? I mean, that is, after all, the constant length
of an encrypted password (2 for the salt, 11 for the encrypted
password). So, even at 10 you trim off the last 3 characters of the
encrypted password, which I would regard as a bug. Or, I may just be
missing something?
