I've just checked Crypt::Eksblowfish (which is used by
Authen::Passphrase), versions 0.001 (almost initial, released in 2006)
and 0.009 (current). Both use "unsigned char" there. So it appears
that the author of Crypt::Eksblowfish happened to fix the bug while
reworking/merging my code. Perhaps he did not realize there was a bug,
but was merely adjusting the code to his conventions. (I think I got to
reconsider mine.)
However, PHP looks affected. :-( I'll contact the maintainer.
