The 2.17 version of glibc's crypt() was changed to returning NULL if
it got an invalid seed, this broke tinylogin and shadow in different
ways.

Thanks to the Slackware team for "just in time patches", they found it 
first in shadow around March 28th!

I do not believe that these will introduce any security concerns, please 
review with a careful eye.

Sau!
