commit 8596e298f761c32cecff45424f5242cd14269292
Author: Zack Weinberg <zackw@panix.com>
Date:   Tue Aug 7 21:35:12 2018 -0400

    Add configure option --disable-failure-tokens.
    
    When this option is given, crypt and crypt_r will return NULL on
    failure, instead of a special "failure token" string that isn't the
    hash of any passphrase.  This was the historical behavior of glibc,
    FreeBSD libc, and several other implementations.
