By chance I noticed this entry in the CVS logs:

2002-11-14 21:54  momjian

    * contrib/pgcrypto/openssl.c: OpenSSL 0.9.6g in Debian/unstable
    stopped working with pgcrypto.    This is pgcrypto bug as it assumed
    too much about inner workings of OpenSSL.

    Following patch stops pgcrypto using EVP* functions for ciphers and
    lets it manage ciphers itself.

    This patch supports Blowfish, DES and CAST5 algorithms.

Perhaps the problem is that Marko didn't fix the crypt() code in the
same way?
