From reading the reference I sent to the list, it's worse than that :-)
It encrypts the first 8 characters with 20 DES rounds, then the next 8
with 5 DES rounds.  You still only end up with a 2 char salt and an 11
char string.  (The normal password encrypting does 25 rounds on one 8
character string).
