Summary: crypt() returns only the salt for MD5

Note that only the salt is returned.
AFAIK MD5 is the default encryption type.
The big problem is that if an application stores this hashes in a database and
uses them for authentication, the problem with this bug is that
$valid = crypt($pw, $crypt);
will always be TRUE regardless of $pw
We do have a serious problem here. I suggest recalling 5.3.7 and go for a
5.3.7pl1

Description:
------------
If crypt() is executed with MD5 salts, the return value conists of the salt
only.
DES and BLOWFISH salts work as expected.
I tested with php from openSUSE PHP5 repository
> php -v
PHP 5.3.7RC6-dev (cli)
> rpm -q php5
php5-5.3.6.201108112132-94.1.x86_64
Test script:
---------------
printf("MD5: %s\n", crypt('password', '$1$U7AjYB.O$'));
Expected result:
----------------
MD5: $1$U7AjYB.O$L1N7ux7twaMIMw0En8UUR1
Actual result:
--------------
MD5: $1$U7AjYB.O
