Re: crypt function crash on postgresql 9.3.20 and 10

Seems more like pilot error than a bug....

Id does not crash, it just rejects your salt as invalid, probably
because it is ( does not look right to me, but I'm not in the mood for
fully checking that ).

TFM states 'Calculates a crypt(3)-style hash of password. When storing
a new password, you need to use gen_salt() to generate a new salt
value. To check a password, pass the stored hash value as salt, and
test whether the result matches the stored value.'

Are you doing that ?
