Description:
------------
Upgraded to 4.3.6 from 4.3.4 and cracklib crack_check errors on crack_check when passed the result from a successful crack_openict. I've tested on a linux build and on win32 (binary distro). crack_opendict appears does return a "resource" with no errors but crack_check returns the following error:

Warning: crack_check(): 209064108 is not a valid cracklib dictionary resource in...

a subsequent call to crack_getlastmessage gives the following warning:

Warning: crack_getlastmessage(): No obscure checks in this session in...



Reproduce code:
---------------
$dict = crack_opendict("/usr/lib/cracklib_dict");
$strong = crack_check($dict, 'password');
print("dict: $dict<br>");
print("strong: $strong<br>");




Expected result:
----------------
dict: Resource id #60
strong: 0

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: crack_check(): 216275340 is not a valid cracklib dictionary resource in c:\usr\local\www\v2\common\auth\classes\class.BrainKrash_Auth.php on line 704
dict: Resource id #60
strong:

I am seeing this exact same problem with the 4.3.8 that we just started using on our linux server running apache 2.0.50.

Is there a fix or workaround for this cause it is really affecting our account creation system.
 [2004-07-16 06:16 UTC] jocke at blajj dot net
Same here...
I upgraded from Apache 1.3.29 / PHP 4.3.4 (where the Cracklib-functions actually worked) to Apache 1.3.31 / PHP 4.3.8 (with the exact same configuration options) and now the Cracklib-functions in PHP are totally broken...

Annoying, to say the least :-)

Ok, I just downloaded all the PHP sources from version 4.3.3
and up, and did a quick check of the cracklib sources.
The file php-4.3.x/ext/crack/crack.c was changed in PHP 4.3.5 (from version 1.18.8.2 to 1.18.8.3) and has stayed in that version since.
PHP 4.3.4: /* $Id: crack.c,v 1.18.8.2 2003/06/12 12:37:03 andrey Exp $ */
PHP 4.3.5: (and up) /* $Id: crack.c,v 1.18.8.3 2004/01/04 20:01:07 iliaa Exp $ */

I will later try to recompile 4.3.8 with the earlier version of crack.c and see what happens. (maybe not a good idea, but I want to try...)

Well, well... I compiled PHP 4.3.8 with the old version of
ext/crack/crack.c (version 1.18.8.2 from PHP 4.3.4), and YES, it works!

I can confirm this bug on a Fedora Core 2 system.

Using the older crack.c file (from php 4.3.4) eliminates the error, and cracklib works as expected as above.
