(Do you actually know C?  That change looks as though you don't.)  If
you're running with the old export libcrypt, then crypt() more or less
just returns its first argument; you can just leave the call intact.
Which you probably want to do anyway, so that if you ever get a real
libcrypt, the pop server will match what's in the passwd database.

I don't know; there are too many possible reasons.  For example, I
think the POP protocol simply does not work if your password contains a
space.  It could be something wrong with the code; the change you
quoted looks as though you don't understand it, but it also looks as
though what you did should work for you....
