Bug #1222: crypt may modify constant data
https://www.illumos.org/issues/1222

Author: Rich Lowe
Status: In Progress
Priority: Normal

Category: cmd - userland programs
Target version: 
Difficulty: Bite-size

crypt(1) will modify constant data if built with -xstrconst or gcc without -fwritable-strings.  It forces the key into environment by blatting it into the constant string  "CrYpTkEy=XXXXXXXX".

It is distinctly possible that I may retarget this bug to EOF crypt(1), which is, at best, a distraction from any kind of real encryption (and at worse the same whilst also hideously ugly).
