Description:
------------
Prior to 5.3, crypt() would safely handle certain invalid salts. With the switch to the new DES-based crypt() provider in 5.3, it segfaults.
In discussing this with Pierre, he indicated the problem was in do_des().

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
var_dump(crypt('a', '_'));

Expected result:
----------------
string(13) "_$MoLFnWnJ4yk"


Actual result:
--------------
Segmentation fault

Quite likely same as bug #50947 ?

They seem to be superficially the same, but the bug in this case
couldn't really be SAPI-specific, so either the other report is
factually incorrect, or they're different bugs.
