Subject: re: lib/36959: libcrypt changed ABI without bumping minor

    That would have required a major bump to libc and libcrypt and since the
    number of programs affected were small and it was easy to keep libcrypt
    and libc in sync that it was not worth the trouble.
 
 
 at the very least libcrypt minor should get bumped.
