Thanks, yes. I stand corrected. I was thrown off by the man page
for crypt on my Linux machine. But on a bit of searching found out
that FreeBSD crypt will do this. BTW, the documentation with FreeBSD
also mentioned the use of $2$ for BlowFish algorithm. Should we mention
that in the documentation?

I'm attaching a corrected patch with the original DES/MD5 code.
