Hello. I discovered that PHP 5.3 builds for Windows have buggy crypt() 
function, notably, passwords needed to be at least 4 characters. See 
  http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PITS/01141

If you use a longer password, does it work correctly?

I am open to ideas on how PmWiki should deal with this, while maintaining 
backward compatibility with existing wiki pages and already encrypted existing 
passwords.

Thanks,
Petko
