Using the builtin crypt() solved this problem for the user though. I
wonder if the configure script isn't correctly detecting using the
builtin crypt() as opposed to the openssl version...  or visa versa.
Try applying the attached patch and seeing if that lets you reproduce
the crash.  random may still need to be silly on HPUX, I don't know if
it has a /dev/random.  -sc
